Dancin' The Boogie - Silvan Zingg (piano), Will & Maéva ♫ ♪ ♫
Awesome!
I wonder why boogie is not a more popular genre of jazz, it's so engaging. Too hard to play?
The male dancer, William, is one of my correspondents, he alerted me to this.

Pianist Silvan Zingg plays his composition "Dancin' The Boogie". Dancing by worldchampion Boogie Woogie dancers William and Maéva.
I like how the pianist looks at them, seems he also enjoys their dance.
ReplyDeleteAnd how taller he is !!! :-)
Yes, he does.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I think you can probably not dance such a damn fast dance unless you're pretty small.

ReplyDeleteI don't know, but I wish it was more popular.
Boogie woogie is indeed hard to play.
ReplyDeleteI like the interaction between the dancers and the pianist - they have great orchestration. I also like that the video shows the piano being played, rather than just hearing it.
Nice bass work too, guys!
WOW! I wish they'd had the floor miked, so we could hear their taps.
ReplyDelete> I think you can probably not dance such a damn fast dance unless you're pretty small.
ReplyDeleteNever thought about that... I'm not sure. :-)
"I also like that the video shows the piano being played, rather than just hearing it."
ReplyDeleteMe too.
(Well, Silvan is the star here, clearly.)
I just think that they used too much time on double-exposure. I think that should only be used for one or two-second transitions. It obscures as much as it reveals.
