Axel Zwingenberger - Boogie Woogie Live

Review by Stevie Caldarola

Axel Zwingenberger's album Boogie Woogie is a masterful display of piano playing that will leave listeners tapping their feet and wanting more. The 12-track album showcases Zwingenberger's technical prowess and musicality, as he effortlessly moves between different tempos and styles, from the upbeat "Jumpin' the Boogie" to the slower, bluesy "Blues for Otis Spann."

The album also features guest appearances by some of the biggest names in boogie woogie, including Lila Ammons, Vince Weber, and Red Holloway, who add their own unique flavor to the already rich and vibrant sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Boogie Woogie Stomp," which features Zwingenberger's lightning-fast fingers dancing across the keys in a dazzling display of skill and precision. Another highlight is "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie," a tribute to the legendary Pinetop Smith, which showcases Zwingenberger's ability to capture the essence of the original while adding his own creative twists.
