Story of Boogie-Woogie

The Story of Boogie-Woogie presents a comprehensive history of boogie-woogie from the early 20th century to the present, describing the style's appearance and development, its offshoots, and the pianists who made it famous, and studying its impact on rhythm and blues, urban blues, and big band swing, leading to the eventual revival of "classical" boogie-woogie in concerts and festivals.

Peter J. Silvester, retired, was a record reviewer for Jazz Journal International and Storyville magazines, and wrote liner notes for several boogie-woogie records produced by Honky Tonk Productions.
