James Edwards "Jimmy" Yancey (c. September 17 ) was an United States pianist , composer, and lyricist, most noted for his work in the boogie woogie style. Jimmy Yancy was born in Chicago, Illinois on September 20 of (depending on the source) 1894, 1895, or 1898. His older brother Alonzo Yancey was a pianist as well; their father was a guitarist. Jimmy Yancey started performing as a singer in traveling shows during his childhood. Jimmy Yancey was a noted pianist by and influenced younger musicians like Meade "Lux" Lewis and Albert Ammons , but didn't record until While he played in a boogie woogie style, with a strong repeated figure in the left hand and melodic decoration in the right hand, his playing was delicate and subtle, rather than hard driving. Part of Yancey's distinctive style was that he played in a variety of keys but always ended every song in E flat. These endings added a strangely satisfying dissonance to every performance.

Jimmy Yancey [Listen to his music] Jimmy Yancey, byname of JAMES EDWARD YANCEY (b. Feb. 20, 1898, Chicagod. Sept. 17, 1951, Chicago), American blues pianist who established the boogie-woogie style with slow, steady, simple left-hand bass patterns. These became more rapid in the work of his students Albert Ammons and Meade "Lux" Lewis who popularized the "Yancey Special." Yancey was largely a self-taught pianist, with some instruction from his brother Alonzo. He had a childhood career as a singer and dancer, touring American vaudeville circuits and European music halls, giving a command performance for King George V of England in 1913. Returning to Chicago, Yancey performed at small taverns and informal gatherings. He played baseball in the Negro Leagues until 1919, the year he married Estella Harris (Mama Yancey), who sang with him at house parties throughout the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. They had three recording sessions together and performed on network radio in 1939 and at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1948. From 1925 until his death [1951 - diabetic stroke], Yancey worked as a groundskeeper at the Chicago White Sox baseball stadium. Yancey's influence on other musicians was profound, but his music was known to only a small coterie during his lifetime. Mama Yancey continued to perform and record, working with pianists Little Brother Montgomery and Erwin Helfer. She sang at Carnegie Hall again in 1981.

Jazz Pianists
It is observed that the whole history of jazz can be read through the chart of the stylistic development of the pianists. They started it all and other instrumentalists use the techniques which they developed. Even if the pianist is not the star, he is a kind of an aristocrat. He is practically alone and can manage by himself if necessary. Over the years, respect for the role of the jazz pianist has increased. This page will eventually be more descriptive and include many more pianists. I am gradually writing more on people and gathering links. If you would like me to hurry up on one person in particular that you see below, let me know. Tell me who I need to add to this list!!! Send me links, anecdotes, samples of their work, anything.. And yes, you can nominate yourself to be on here. This list is for any jazz pianist. Thanks to all of you who have already submitted information and links!!!

PIANO JAZZ The History Le Chant du Monde 574 1231.40
10CD’s Full track listing at the foot of the review By the time we reach the period 1937 to 1939, the music has gone in many directions, the Boogie Woogie Men are still moving their music forward as are the Stride players, but everything is much more sophisticated than previously. Th fabulous Nat Cole Trio introduce their lovely light swinging style. Pianists like Cow Cow Davenport are now playing a mixture of Boogie and stride. Rufus Perryman sounds like an early version of Little Richard! This disc opens with an absolute gem from Art Tatum, Over the Rainbow was an ideal vehicle to show off his amazing virtuosity. (Did it speed up at the end so they could get it all on the record!). Art Hodes, who for many years ran a Dixieland band, demonstrates boogie this time. Mary Lou delivers Margie in the stride style, something unusual for her. When Lionel Hampton was around everything started to swing and I’ve Found a New Baby is no exception, he played the piano with two fingers as though it was a vibraphone!

Jimmy Yancey
Jimmy Yancy refined the technique of using the left hand to create the rhythmic accompaniment that we today recognize as boogie-woogie blues.
One of the pioneers of boogie-woogie piano, Jimmy Yancey was generally more subtle than the more famous Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, falling as much into the blues genre as in jazz. Yancey, who could romp as well as anyone, made many of his most memorable recordings at slower tempos. No matter what key he played in, Yancey ended every song in E flat, leading to some hilarious conclusions to some recordings. He worked in vaudeville as a singer and tap dancer starting at age six and in 1915 settled in Chicago as a pianist. But Yancey spent his last 26 years (from 1925 on) earning his living as a groundskeeper at Comiskey Park for the Chicago White Sox. He played part-time in local clubs and began recording in 1939, on a few occasions backing his wife, singer Mama Yancey. Jimmy Yancey never achieved the fame of his contemporaries but he remained a major influence on all practitioners in the genre.
