| | Boogie-Woogie Artists |
 | | Band Boogie Woogie developed as a highly percussive piano-bassed music in the late '20s, and was characterized by a constant repeating rhythmic figure played by the pianist's left hand freeing the right hand for melody improvisation. |
 | | The latter three joined forces in the late '30s, as the Boogie Woogie Boys, enjoying a four year residency at the exclusive clubs, the Cafe Society, Uptown and Downtown in New Yourk, into the '40s. |
 | | Ammons recorded with the other pianists in duets and trios, fit right in with the Port of Harlem Jazzmen on their Blue Note session, appeared regularly at Cafe Society, recorded as a sideman with Sippie Wallace in the 1940s and he even cut a session with his son, the great tenorman Gene Ammons. |
