Pinetops Boogie Woogie - Clarence “Pinetop“ Smith

Rec. December 29, 1928 in ChicagoC 2726 B Downloaded from MuseScore as transcribed by James Brigham. BACKGROUND: The following is a brief description on the music as written by the transcriber, James Brigham. “In ’The Story of Boogie-Woogie: A Left Hand Like God’ Peter J Silvester states ’Smith recorded two takes of his composition. The original, C 2726 A, was issued on Valio 1245 and has since been reissued many times. A second version, C 2726 B, was also released on Vovalion, and it is likely that only a small pressing was made, for, in its original form, it is still a very rare record. Apart from some different ordering in the piano choruses, the recordings can be identified by changes in Pinetop’s patter.’ I have looked at and modified various titbits from other transcription namely: Colin Davey’s transcription of C 2726-A; Tim Richard’s excerpt version in Blues Piano; and Todd Lowry
