5.0 out of 5 stars The Original Rockin' Boogie-Woogie!, September 5, 2002

This review is from: The Chronological Albert Ammons : Classics, 1936-1939 (Audio CD)

Yeah, this is the real deal: before the '50s revival of boogie-woogie and the invention of rock-a-billy, there was Albert Ammons and the original late '30s boogie-woogie--which was part of the natural evolution of jazz piano from the early ragtime of Joplin, via the stride of Morton and Johnson. A rockin' good disc!
