THE JOHN ULRICH PIANO SERIES presents Carl Sonny Leyland Sunday, August 5 th at 2PM Advanced reservations required: $25.00 per person Born in the south of England in 1965, Sonny took up the piano at age fifteen. His inspiration was the boogie woogie music of Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis. Fascinated by this style, he traced it back to its barrelhouse roots, incorporating the stylings of Jimmie Yancey, Charles “Cow Cow” Davenport, Little Brother Montgomery and other notables into his own playing. In 1988, he left England, moving to New Orleans where he lived for ten years before moving to California. Sonny has toured both in Europe and the United States as a solo act and with a variety of bands such as Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets and Big Sandy and His Flyte Boys. He is featured regularly in the West Coast Ragtime Festival and Ragfest. In 2010, Sonny was inducted into the Boogie Woogie Hall of Fame Over the years, Sonny has been active in various musical genres including blues, western swing, rockabilly, and more recently, traditional jazz. However, it is the boogie and barrelhouse piano that first inspired him that continues to be his favorite music, and it’s the style he most loves to play. Sonny also sings the blues very convincingly in his original vocal style. His ability to play barrelhouse, blues and boogie combined with the originality and soulfulness of his own music makes him one of today’s most exciting pianists.

Nov. 20, 1970 Introduction: I don’t think anybody in Oslo Jazz Circle recognized Don Stovall, in the old days we simply did not play that kind of music, and we hated the Decca recording company for all their mediocre sessions.

Played in St. Louis, Missouri with Dewey Jackson and Fats Marable on riverboats in the 1920s, and then played with Eddie Johnson’s Crackerjacks in 1932-33. In the 1930s he lived in Buffalo, New York, where he led his own ensmble and played with Lil Armstrong. He moved to NYC. in 1939, and played there with Sam Price, Eddie Durham and Cootie Williams. Following this he recorded extensively with Red Allen, remaining with him until 1950.

Great Instrumental
I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

The History of Boogie Woogie and Rock'n'roll We Can Assume, That
The history of Boogie Woogie and Rock’n’Roll We can assume, that the history of Boogie Woogie began with the development of new dance- and music styles. At the 1893 world exhibition in Chicaco came up dances within the Ragtime style and around 1900 the so called Chicken-wheel-dance. The breakaway, an other important fore runner of the Boogie Woogie, is a dance style done to Charleston and Swing music where the couples separated to do solo steps. The big breakthrough of the Swing music came 1934, when a white bandleader, Benny Goodman, held his famous concert at the Carnegie Hall and swept the audience off their feet. The next day, New York was in Swing fever. The rest of the work for the final music and dance euphoria was done by Hollywood of course. The name Boogie Woogie signifies piano music with strong rolling bass runs which is said to have its origins around the mid twenties in a lumberjack-camp. The dance steps that were done to that music were called Boogie Woogie. On the famous recording “Pinetop’s Smith Boogie Woogie” from 1928 you can hear him giving instructions for some steps. One of the “Boogie Woogie“ steps is a figure where alternately the right and left leg together with the hips are moved to the outside in light circulating movements. The great success of the Boogie Woogie music came overnight; once more through a concert in Carnegie Hall in New York. Mead Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson dragged New York and the rest of the USA along into a Boogie Woogie fever.

Besonderen J a Z Z – E V E N T ** Ragtime. Blues-Time Boogie
H E R Z L I C H E E I N L A D U N G Z U E I N E M BESONDEREN J A Z Z – E V E N T ** Mittwoch, den 10. Juli 2019 um 19.00 Uhr bei Richard Irniger, Schneckenmannstrasse 8, 8044 Zürich RAGTIME. BLUES-TIME BOOGIE-TIME Stephanie TRICK & Paolo ALDERIGHI - Jazz Piano Duo. Jazz piano duo Stephanie Trick and Paolo Alderighi are back to Villa Irniger with an exciting new project: "Rag-Time, Blues-Time, Boogie-Time." Taking two of the key elements present at the beginning of jazz history – ragtime and the blues – they will show how the two forms (the multi-part form used in ragtime and the 12-bar blues form ) have been used throughout the history of American music and jazz music in a multitude of ways. From early blues to boogie woogie (developed in Chicago by pianists like Jimmy Yancey, Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, and Meade Lux Lewis), and from the ragtime of Scott Joplin to the intricate compositions of Jelly Roll Morton and Eubie Blake – this is a musical journey that will satisfy fans of classic jazz, the blues, ragtime and early jazz alike! Pioneers in the use of four-hands piano in jazz, Stephanie Trick and Paolo Alderighi have earned widespread success with their arrangements of classics from the stride piano, ragtime, and boogie woogie repertoires, as well as from the swing era and the Great American Songbook. They have performed across the United States, Europe, and Japan, winning the acclaim of critics and fans alike.
