I just love saying that. Boogie, Boogie, Woggie!! My favorite online
jazz dictionary defines boogie woogie as follows;
A pre-modern jazz piano style associated with Meade Lux Lewis and
Albert Ammons. It is characterized by a repetitive left handed bass
figure stating every beat by dividing it into eighth notes of unequal
value, (eight to the bar).
Is Hooker's boogie an "eight to the bar" boogie. Since my musical
skills are somewhere between embrionic and nascent, I wouldn't venture a
guess, but I don't think it is.
