When two of the world's leading boogie-woogie pianists record an album together, it's a global event beyond the boundaries of the scene – a statement. With Boogie Woogie Dimensions, Axel Zwingenberger and Joja Wendt present a work in which the legendary, rousing piano style born from the keyboard has lost none of its radiance and spontaneous liveliness.
Axel Zwingenberger has been an 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 in countless concerts, collaborations with jazz and blues legends and over 30 albums at the highest level.
Joja Wendt, one of Europe's most versatile pianists, is deeply rooted in this music – and has always included it as a living source in 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 its roots of Boogie Woogie.
In Boogie Woogie Dimensions, two pianists meet who could hardly be more different – and who develop a deep understanding and highly inspiring tension, especially in the musical dialogue. Sometimes like a powerful exchange of blows, sometimes like a filigree 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. Thus, 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 great concert stages of today. The two are now bringing this special energy live to the stage for the first time. On their exclusive club tour 2026 across Germany, they will present their album, whereby it is already certain that every evening will be unique and no two will be the same.
