Mr. B & Bob Seeley: Back to Back Live  

 

When Mr. B was playing in front of his first large audience and met Bob Seeley for the first time many years ago, little did he know that the two would become close friends and two of the better known international purveyors of boogie-woogie piano alive today. Mr. B, influenced by a number boogie-woogie piano greats including Little Brother Montgomery, and Bob Seeley, a classical pianist by training and protégé of the late great Meade Lux Lewis, deliver grace, style, lightning, and thunder. Here the two play blues and jazz standards back-to-back, in two different styles. Directed by Greg Olliver (Lemmy), this DVD of their live show was motivated by their original studio recording in 2007, which first captured this concept. The DVD also contains interviews and other bonus material.  A preview of Cheek to Cheek Boogie is currently available on YouTube.

 

 

  

Two pianos and two legendary performers equals one unforgettable evening. Mr B (aka Mark Lincoln Braun) and Bob Seeley are both masters of Boogie Woogie, and their talents are beautifully showcased in this fascinating concert film. This DVD contains the full concert, including a jaw-dropping finale, as well as several bonus features.
