| Boogie-woogie is a musical genre that became popular during the late 1920s, but developed in African American communities in the 1870s. [1][2] It was eventually extended from piano, to piano duo and trio, guitar, big band, country and western music, and gospel. While the blues traditionally expresses a variety of emotions, boogie-woogie is mainly associated with dancing.[3] Here we listen to the Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey band. |
