At the beginning of the 70’s Memphis Slim was well known in France blues scene and especially in Paris area That allowed him to introduce a new piano player who, at that time, was not very popular in regular blues scene but that soon became a really appreciated artist by French blues fans He was Willie Mabon, a singer, harmonica and piano player coming from Chicago blues circles In 1979 two dates were arranged in Paris featuring piano players Willie Mabon and Jean-Paul Amouroux, facing on stage with two pianos with the only support of Gilles Chevaucherie on double bass People said those two sessions were unforgettable, and those who were there still remember them with a very special feeling Although the sound is not as good as we would have loved and does not faithfully reflect what happened during those memorable shows, a selection of songs performed those nights can be found in this album entitled Boogie For 2 Pianos, where the vigorous and eternal magic of blues and boogie woogie will catch us with an unusual strength since the first album notes
