Frank Muschalle, Germany, has been on tour in Europe for more than fifteen years. He has become one of the most popular boogie woogie pianists. Frank was born in 1969. After 11 years studying classical piano he discovered the joys of boogie woogie at the age of 19. Since then he has devoted himself entirely to this music.

The boogie woogie trio Ammons, Johnson and Lewis as well as pianists like Axel Zwingenberger, Little Brother Montgomery or Cow Cow Davenport have deeply influenced his development. Within a short period of time Frank has acquired a fine reputation not only among insiders. Appearances on TV and radio have contributed to Frank´s remarkable success.

As early as October 1995 his debut-CD,”Great Boogie Woogie News”, was published by the Vienna label Document Records. Afterwards Frank gave performances in jazz clubs and festivals, on a tour of Austria with the Mojo Bluesband and Red Holloway, at concerts in the Jazzland and the Starclub (Vienna), and at concerts with Axel Zwingenberger, Vince Weber and Martin Pyrker…

Quite soon Frank Muschalle outgrew his role as a local talent; invitations to concerts such as the “Stars of Boogie Woogie” - Festival in the Vienna Concert Hall speak for themselves. In March 1997 the second CD, “Battin´ The Boogie”, came out, also published by Document Records. The production caused a sensation among international experts.

Recording information: Landesmuseum Münster, Germany (11/11/1996-11/23/1996); Soundborn Studios, Vienna, Austria (11/11/1996-11/23/1996).
