“Towards the end of the 30s a veritable boogie woogie craze took America by storm, heralding an extraordinary decade in which jazz, swing, blues and R&B swung to the irresistible rhythm of some of the greatest boogie pianists. These 42 tracks selected by Jean Buzelin, are a perfect illustration of this period.” Patrick Frémeaux
