Review: 

Boogie Stomp, written by John Campana, is one of the best, most entertaining shows in town. Two virtuoso pianists, Arthur Migliazza and Bob Baldori, take us on a musical trip through the past 90 years of American music, showing us, in brilliant duo-piano renditions, the influence boogie woogie has played in rock and roll, rhythm and blues, jazz, pop music, and even big band music.

From chord one, and through the show, I had to restrain myself from jumping up and dancing. And there’s an amazing “St. Louis Blues.” These guys have the fastest fingers in the west. They sing, and Bob does a harmonica riff that’s like a Picasso painting–abstract, clear, and exciting. He’s a master. The intricate point/counterpoint of these two delightful piano magicians, directed with great flair by Kirk Gostowski, gives us a musical feast.
