Boogie Stomp!

The Movie

Two red hot pianos. Decades of virtuoso playing. American roots music. One stomping movie.

Boogie Stomp! is the award-winning true story of two men determined to remind America of the backbone of much of its popular music – boogie woogie piano. From the earliest days of jazz to today’s hottest rock and roll songs, rhythm and improvisation over a blues foundation has been the hallmark of our nation’s unique contribution to the world of music.

The flying fingers, rapid rhythms and intense concentration of Bob Baldori – longtime piano and harp player for Chuck Berry – and Bob Seeley – the last living link to the origins of American piano music and the legends from the epoch of boogie woogie music in the 30s and 40s – drive Boogie Stomp. You’ll cheer them on as they rip through songs, inspire swing dancers, stump across American and Europe – and Russia – to present their music to enthusiastic audiences, and fight for the opportunity to remind the world of America’s forgotten music.

You’ll also learn how difficult it is to make a living in show business – particularly if you are over 50 – as the pair face promoters who underestimate their stamina, perseverance, and talent. It’s a riveting story, told with humor and depth, while delivering scorched earth AMERICAN piano music at its best.
