from the liner notes:

Although most of my tunes have been generally soft and
moody, Boogie Woogie has always held a special place
in my heart. It's one of the few piano styles in which a
solo player can generate a groove, and it always seems
to radiate joy and fun. At ten years old my first composition
was a boogie and it's been part of my playing ever since.

My purpose in this album was to explore a variety of
boogie and blues feelings. Some of the tunes are close
to traditional boogie/blues and some are more distant,
but at the core of them all is the everpresent bass line
of the piano.

3. Beanface Boogie

4. So Low Blues

5. The Island Groove

6. Rock 'n Boogie

7. Balboa Boogie
