Boogie Woogie Legends live
When two of the world's leading boogie woogie pianists record an album together, it is a global event beyond the boundaries of the scene - a statement. With Boogie Woogie Dimensions, Axel Zwingenberger and Joja Wendt present a work on which the legendary, rousing piano style born from the keyboard has lost none of its radiance and spontaneous liveliness.
Axel Zwingenberger has been regarded as the international ambassador of boogie woogie for decades. His name is synonymous worldwide with this gripping piano style, whose drive and improvisational power he has cultivated to the highest level in countless concerts, collaborations with jazz and blues legends and over 30 albums.
Joja Wendt, one of Europe's most versatile pianists, is deeply rooted in this music - and has always incorporated it as a living source into his artistic work. Whether classical, jazz, pop or his own compositions: Wendt brings together the joy of playing, virtuosity and openness without losing the authenticity and his roots of boogie woogie.
In Boogie Woogie Dimensions, two pianists meet who could hardly be more different - and unfold a deep understanding and highly inspiring tension precisely in the musical dialog. Sometimes like a powerful exchange of blows, sometimes like a delicate conversation on two concert grand pianos - always full of groove, spontaneity and surprising improvisations.
Particularly remarkable: the entire album was recorded without cuts. Every take preserves the magic of the moment - from the energetic stage fire to the intimate moments that arise in the studio when two musicians really listen to each other.
So Boogie Woogie Dimensions is not only a modern chapter in the long history of boogie woogie, but also the path to a new dimension - from the rough barrelhouses of the southern states to the big concert stages of today.
The two are now bringing this special energy to the stage live for the first time. They will be presenting their album on their exclusive club tour across Germany in 2026, and it is already clear that every evening will be unique and no two nights will be the same.
