About this concert
The Boogie Experience: Award winning pianist Arthur Migliazza returns with his trio to bring the Boogie Woogie and Blues piano tradition back to life through truly unbelievable piano playing and highly engaging storytelling. This musical historian takes you on a one of a kind journey through the origins of this extremely influential and important African-American music and uncovers its connections and relevance to all of American pop music that followed, including Jazz and Rock and Roll. But this is no mere history lesson; Arthur Migliazza is a virtuoso pianist who grew up playing Boogie Woogie and Blues piano, learning directly from several contemporary masters in the style. Arthur began playing professionally at the tender age of 13, right here in Tucson! He first played in Green Valley as a teenager with his piano and drums duo called “The Blues Kats”. Arthur has since moved to the east coast and currently resides in Rhode Island with his wife and 2 children. Let’s welcome him back to the Southwest for this special evening of Boogie Woogie!
