The ABC&D of Boogie Woogie performed at Midsummer Night Swing on June 28, 2012. The ABC&D of Boogie Woogie is (A) Axel Zwingenberger, Germany's greatest modern boogie woogie pianist; (B) the raunchy vocalist and pianist Ben Waters; the almost telepathic rhythm section, (C) Charlie Watts, the masterful drummer whose syncopated rhythms drive "the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band"; and (D) Watts's best friend since childhood, Dave Green, one of the finest bassists on the U.K. jazz scene.
