	African American Registry: Meade Lux Lewis, true Boogie Woogie piano.
		Lewis was born in Chicago, Illinois and helped establish boogie-woogie as a major blues piano style in the 1930s and 1940s.
		Lewis took the rollicking piano form out of the clubs and cat houses and onto the concert stage in 1938 where its fast-flowing rhythms and charging solos delighted audiences and eventually laid the groundwork for rhythm & blues and later rock & roll.
		Lewis died in an automobile crash on February the 7th in 1964 in Minneapolis.

	Meade Lux Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meade Anderson "Lux" Lewis (1905 - 1964) was a United States pianist and composer noted for his work in the Boogie Woogie style.
		Lewis was born in Chicago, Illinois in September of 1905 (September 3rd, 4th, and 13th are given as his birthdate in various sources).
		Meade "Lux" Lewis died in an automobile accident in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1964.

	Referenced Case
		Lewis' testimony contains several flagrant contradictions, particularly his denial that he had James Yancey in mind when he named the composition "Yancey Special"; he readily admitted that he did have Yancey in mind when his testimony on deposition was called to his attention.
		I might say briefly, however, that I agree with the defendant that this bass is too simple to be copyrightable; that it is a mechanical application of a simple harmonious chord; and that the purpose of the copyright law is to protect creation, not mechanical skill.
		I might also add that the evidence is that Lewis abandoned his rights, if any, to a copyright by permitting his composition to be produced on phonograph records and sold some time before copyright.

		Lewis was an excellent whistler and could whistle the blues with the ease of a trumpet-like style.

		Lewis may, in fact, be the unsuspected, auspicious link between surrealism and the blues.
		Lewis was a remarkably inventive improviser, incessantly vibrating with idiosyncrasies that make his recordings delightful to listen to at length.
		Lewis tapped into these mysteries with an extended set of blues variations recorded for Blue Note on the January 6 1939.

	The Database of Recorded American Music
		Lewis and Ammons were the strong younger professionals- to-be who were to help carry the music into its widespread public revival.
		This was Lewis' second (and least-known) version of his masterpiece in the long-standing tradition of the descriptive "train blues." In his essay in Jazzmen, William Russell wrote of it that Lewis' ideas seem unlimited; in developing them he always gives an unexpected twist to the melody.
		Lewis' treatment of the Shayne blues is both similar to and in striking contrast to Blythe's.

	Meade Lux Lewis' Honky Tonk Train: 1927-1961 by Colin Davey
		Hammond sought Meade Lux Lewis for years, and finally found him working in a car wash. Hammond put Lewis in Carnegie Hall (with Ammons and Johnson) for the Sprituals to Swing concerts of ‘38 and ‘39.
		Lewis performed Honky Tonk Train at both of these concerts, and these concerts led to the boogie woogie craze of the 1940’s.
		After the boogie woogie craze ended, Lewis continued to record this piece, but performed it in a wooden fashion, at a breakneck speed.

		As a member of the Boogie Woogie Trio (alongside Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson), Lewis distributed his heft and significance in playing with a distinct rhythmic foundation.
		Lewis may have first played his signature composition, "Honky Tonk Train Blues," at house parties as early as 1923.
		Some twenty years later, the 58-year-old Lewis would be killed by a reckless driver in the wee hours of Sunday morning, June 7, 1964, after a gig.

		In 1927, Lewis recorded "Honky Tonk Train Blues," a driving boogie based on the sounds of the trains that rumbled past his boyhood home on South La Salle Street in Chicago as many as a hundred times a day.
		Still, what's out there available that he produced for Victor and Decca are the best boogie recordings, as he was at his zenith and sounded more relaxed - not yet pressured to play everything double speed or gimicky when broadening his material.
		Bob Crosby's version of Lewis' recordings are based on the actual recording and not the sheet music.

		The running time on these ten tracks, recorded in 1954 by Lewis with bassist Red Callendar and an unknown electric guitarist, is a paltry 27 minutes, but they're 27 delightful minutes.
		Lewis' work is captured in between his 1952 Atlantic sessions and his 1957 Verve recordings, playing an easy, rollicking set that includes "Basin Street Blues," "Darktown Strutters Ball," "Birth of the Blues," and the title track.
		Ironically, the unnamed guitarist almost dominates "Birth of the Blues" and "Tidal Boogie," and it's a shame his name hasn't been preserved or recorded, but Lewis gets to shine on this number as well.

		The genre had already existed for at least ten years before it became a sensation (1938), and it has at least three "inventors".
		Meade Lux Lewis, who was a cab driver for a same Chicago taxi company (so was his friend Albert Ammons) recorded Honky Tonk Train Blues in 1927, but the song was released only two years later (it imitates the sounds of a train in motion).
		Lewis penned some of the most sophisticated compositions of the boogie era: Yancey Special (1936), Whistlin' Blues (1937), Cafe Society Rag (1939), Solitude (1939), Bear Cat Crawl (1940), Six Wheel Chaser (1940).

		Boogie-woogie pianist Meade Lux Lewis' next-to-last record was his first recording in five years and his final opportunity to stretch out unaccompanied.
		This solo Riverside set (reissued by OJC on CD) as usual finds Lewis generally sticking to the blues (with "You Were Meant for Me" and "Fate" being exceptions), mostly performing originals.
		It apparently only took Meade Lux Lewis two hours to record the full set and the results are quite spontaneous yet well organized, a fine all-around portrait of the veteran pianist in his later period.

	Masters of the Boogie Piano: Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis, Pete Johnson & Others
		The history of jazz and blues piano is an interesting one, and it benefits from being told separately from the history of jazz musis in general.
		Recorded in 1939, at the height of the boogie-woogie craze, this piece gives a good idea of the excitement that a boogie pianist could generate despite the relatively simple elements of the music.
		Albert Ammons is, of course, one of the biggest of the originators of the boogie woogie piano style (others include Meade Lux Lewis, Pete Johnson, and Jimmy Yancey), and his “Hersal Blues,” (named after another of his influences, blues pianist Hersal Wallace) recorded in 1939, demonstrates why.
