Album Notes

The latest in the BLUES & BOOGIE PIANO SUMMIT CD series- highlights from the 12th annual live show (held Saturday, November 6th, 2010 @ the historic SOUTHGATE HOUSE in Newport, KY) produced by pianist RiCKY NYE, this disc features performances from Ricky and his piano playin' friends from the U.S. and abroad: the legendary BOB SEELEY (Detroit, MI): JULIAN PHILLIPS (the U.K.) and PATRICK SMET (Belgium). Solo piano pieces and ensemble work featuring the knocked-out rhythm section of BRIAN AYLOR (drums); BUCK STEVENS (upright bass) and the one and only GEORGE BEDARD (guitar). The show is produced and the CD is made for fans of the traditional styles of boogie woogie, barrelhouse, blues, and stride piano performed by today's leading specialists. A fun, uplifting and spirited show captured in hi-fidelity just for YOU- enjoy!
