Allen MichieJazztodon artist of the week: Christian Bleiming!
German pianist Bleiming plays a traditional style in the style of "Pinetop" Smith, Meade "Lux" Lewis, and other old masters.
In the course of his 30-year career, his distinctive way of playing boogie-woogie, combined with a heartfelt sense of the world of blues piano, developed into a very personal piano style. He's accompanied Angela Brown and Jeanne Carroll, blues musicians "Big" Joe Duskin, Tommie Harris, Guitar Crusher, Tommy "Madman" Jones, and boogie-woogie greats Martin Pyrker and Axel Zwingenberger. A highlight was his participation in the band of rock ’n‘ roll legend Chuck Berry in November 2005.
Between 1990 and 2011, Christian Bleiming released eight CDs.
