Hi all, I thought to start a thread where we can post piano instrumentals. To get the ball rolling, here is one from the St. Louis pianist Wesley Wallace, "Fanny Lee Blues", splitting the difference between the keys of E and F : and from Blind Leroy Garnett, working out in Db, on "Louisiana Glide"--wow!: All best, Johnm

Great Topic. There are so many but the one below is still one of my favorites. Absolutely brilliant playing in the key of Eb. Montana Taylor - Indiana Avenue Stomp

And here's the flip side of Freezone's "Indian Squaw Blues": the equally unknown Raymond Barrow with "Walking Blues"...

One of my all-time favorites. Crazy time (how would you count that, 6/8? 6/4?) and no V chord.

Turner Parrish's "The Trenches" is one of my favs ever since I heard it years ago on a Magpie Compilation:

Indiana Avenue Stomp is just so good. This one swings A LOT even though it's called a drag, Key of Bb This is also a drag, Key of Gb

How Long Blues as by Jimmy Yancey. At the end, after 4 mins, you'll be feeling a lot better than you were at the start
