1920年代に流行った黒人の伝統芸能音楽Boogie Woogieの貴重な録音を集めたものです。
Cow Cow Davenport(1894-1955)は初期のBoogie Woogie Pianistです。Pine-Top Smith（1904-29）はわずか24歳で亡くなっていますが、Pine-Top Boogieこそ後年多くの楽団やピアニストが取り上げたBoogie Woogieの元になった曲です。まさに創始者といった感じです。

Romeo Nelson（1902-1974）も初期のBoogie Woogie Pianistです。Speckled Red (1892-1972)やMontana Taylor(1903-58)は文献で名前を見ることがありますが、Bob Call, Turner Parrish,　Dot Riceとなると全く情報がありません。

Mead Lux Lewisは1960年代まで元気で、LPも録音していますが、初期ほど面白い演奏が聴けるようです。

後半のAlbert Ammons, Mary Lou Williams, Jay McShann, Pete JohnsonはいずれもプロのJazz PianistでBoogie Woogieもやれば出来ますよって感じで録音したものでしょう。
