Axel Zwingenberger













Axel Zwingenberger (born May 7, 1955, Hamburg, Germany) is a blues and boogie-woogie pianist,and songwriter. He is considered one of the finest boogie-woogie music masters in the world.
Zwingenberger enjoyed eleven years of conventional piano training. In 1973 he listened to recordings of boogie-woogie pianists Albert Ammons, Meade "Lux" Lewis, and Pete Johnson. He soon joined piano playing partners Hans-Georg Moeller, Vince Weber and Martin Pyrker, and word about the four friends began to spread. In 1974, he played at the First International Blues-and-Boogie Woogie Festival of the West German Radio Station in Cologne which was followed by Hans Maitner's annual festival Stars of Boogie Woogie in Vienna.
By 1975, Zwingenberger received his first recording contract, issuing such solo recordings as Boogie Woogie Breakdown, Power House Boogie, and Boogie Woogie Live, as well as lending his talents to recordings by such artists as Lionel Hampton, Jay McShann, Big Joe Turner, Lloyd Glenn, Joe Newman, Sippie Wallace, Mama Yancey, Champion Jack Dupree, Sammy Price, Ray Bryant, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman Vince Weber, and the Mojo Blues Band, among others. In addition to issuing other solo recordings, Zwingenberger continues to tour all over the world. He has also authored several publications about blues/boogie-woogie music and musicians as well as Boogie Woogie: Piano Solo, a book of 12 of his compositions, exactly transcribed.
In spring 2009, coordinated by young pianist Ben Waters from the UK, Axel renewed his relationship with Charlie Watts, drummer of The Rolling Stones. Together with bassist Dave Green, they play joint concerts labeled as "The ABC&D of Boogie Woogie" with increasing fun in front of enthusiastic audiences in the UK and abroad!

Blind John Davis












Blind John Davis (7 diciembre 1913 hasta 12 octubre 1985) fue un pianista y cantante afro-americano, de Blues, Jazz y  Boogie-Woogie. Es más recordado por sus grabaciones como "A Little Every Day" y "Everybody´s Boogie".
Davis nació en Hattiesburg, Mississippi, pero se trasladó con su familia a Chicago a la edad de dos años.
En 1922, a la edad de siete años, jugando Policias y Ladrones, cayó en un pozo que contenía clavos oxidados, causándole serias lesiones en los ojos, ocasionándole la perdida de la vista para el resto de su vida. En sus primeros años, Davis fue respaldado por Merline Johnson, y alrededor de sus veinticinco años ya era un pianista-acompañante bien conocido y confiable. Entre 1937 y 1942 Davis grabó con Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Boy Williamson, Tampa Red, Merline Johnson, y otros, tocando en muchas grabaciones de la época. También hizo varios esfuerzos propios, usando su voz ligera.
Después de tocar en varias sesiones de grabación anteriores, en la década del cuarenta, Davis se unió a Lonnie Johnson. Más tarde grabaría por su cuenta, "No Mail Today" (1949) que se convirtió un hit de menor importancia para Davis y además aparece como pianista en la mayoría de las últimas sesiones de grabación de Doctor Clayton.
Realiza una gira por Europa con Broonzy en 1952, el primer pianista de blues en hacerlo. Años después, Davis se mantuvo de gira y grabó con frecuencia en Europa, donde disfrutó de un perfil más alto que en su tierra natal.
Davis murió en su ciudad adoptiva de Chicago, a la edad de 71 años, en octubre de 1985.
