NEAR MINT "PINE TOP" SMITH BOOGIE WOOGIE 78 BRUNS 03600

A NEAR MINT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL BOOGIE WOOGIE-BLUES 78  ON THE UK BRUNSWICK LABEL  FROM "PINE TOP" SMITH 

 

Clarence "Pine Top" Smith was one of the earliest pianists to recorded a boogie-woogie" piano solo. His 1928 tune "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie" was the first recording to be labeled as such and and had a great deal of influence on all future pieces in that style. Pine Top toured the minstrel and TOBA vaudeville circuits throughout the 1920s performing with Mamie Smith and Butter Beans and Susie and other vaudeville acts. He was also a frequent solo performer at rent parties, taverns and whorehouses. Smith was accidently shot to death at a dance in Chicago in 1929.
