Ethan Leinwand - The Yancey Stomp (by Jimmy Yancey)

Debut album, “The Low-Down Piano“, now available on iTunes and CDBaby. The Yancey Stomp - also recorded as The Fives, Midnight Stomp, . Special, etc. etc. etc. - is a signature Jimmy Yancey tune. It highlights what may be Yancey’s greatest attribute as a pianist: his ability to play fast and raucous without being heavy-handed. There is a playfulness with Jimmy Yancey that is not heard with any other blues pianist. It’s no wonder why he was so beloved in his day..
