Summary: Basic and boring
Comment: This is a book that WILL teach you the basics of the boogie woogie bass for piano.

It is not musically interesting. But, if you use this book AND some recordings of great jazz boogie-woogie players, you might figure out how to get that thumping, chugging sound. The examples in the Hanon, however, are pretty dull but serviceable for learning the method.

Summary: a dry introduction to boogie woogie
Comment: Like the 'real' Hanon, this book is little more than a very inclusive array of exercises. I suppose that religious attention to doing them would improve one's skills, but it is a very 'dry' way to approach boogie woogie piano. One would be better served to obtain (or 'sound out') the music for some tunes and learn by actually playing the music itself. By its very nature, boogie woogie piano is built on repetition and patterns...the tunes themselves can serve as both technique-builders and repertiore.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great Introduction to the Style
Comment: A superior book....one of the few great boogie workbooks, especially for the beginner but up through the fairly advanced pianist....something here for just about anyone. Many, many different bass and riff examples. Gives you a great start on coming up with your own. Get your transcription gear together; this book and a few Meade Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons, and Pete Johnson recordings will have you well on your way. Well worth the money....nothing else quite like it.
