This is the fourth of a series of recordings from one of the world's premier boogie piano players, Bob Seeley. An inductee to the Boogie Woogie Hall of Fame in Cincinnati, Ohio USA, Bob is a classically-trained pianist whose early discovery of boogie woogie is our blessing. Born and raised in Detroit, he learned boogie, stride, and ragtime from recordings and folios. Among his great influences is Pat Flowers (Fats Waller's protégé) and the boogie pioneer Meade Lux Lewis - one of the three giants of boogie woogie (along with Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson).

Bob Seely a.k.a. 'The Spider' Seeley (piano right channel), Lluís Coloma a.k.a. 'Machine Gun Fingers' Coloma (piano left channel). Recorded live at Café Central, Madrid, Spain, 26-28 August, 2011.

"Boogie woogie has sometimes been described as limited and repetitive. Not so this set though! It had me hooked right from reading the sleeve notes, a wonderful, detailed interview with Detroit pianist Bob Seeley, who met Meade Lux Lewis (one of the original Boogie Woogie Trio) back in the 40s, and who left his mark on the young man as the four Lewis tracks here testify. The younger Spanish blues and boogie ace Lluís Coloma has come to my attention many times over the last few years and I can confirm that he is one excellent musician so put Coloma and Seeley together for a four-handed boogie fest and the expected fireworks sure do happen on this live set recorded in Madrid in 2011. The basses roll like thunder, but these guys can also slow it down and think outside the box (try Taboo).

Bob Seeley describes boogie-woogie as nothing but happy blues and thats just how I felt after listening to this. If youve ever been unsure about boogie, buy this CD. Recommended? You bet!" ~Norman Darwen
