Boogie is a repetitive, swung note or shuffle rhythm,〔Burrows, Terry (1995). ''Play Country Guitar'', p.42. Dorling Kindersley Limited, London. ISBN 0-7894-0190-8.〕 "groove" or pattern used in blues which was originally played on the piano in boogie-woogie music. The characteristic rhythm and feel of the boogie was then adapted to guitar, double bass, and other instruments. The earliest recorded boogie-woogie song was in 1916. By the 1930s, Swing bands such as Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Gerald Martin, and Louis Jordan all had boogie hits. By the 1950s, boogie became incorporated into the emerging rockabilly and rock and roll styles. In the late 1980s and the early 1990s country bands released country boogies. Today, the term "boogie" usually refers to dancing to pop, disco, or rock music. ==History== The boogie was originally played on the piano in boogie-woogie music and adapted to guitar. Boogie-woogie is a style of blues piano playing characterized by an up-tempo rhythm, a repeated melodic pattern in the bass, and a series of improvised variations in the treble.〔The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company, Updated in 2009, and Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003 CITED IN ("Boogie-Woogie" ), ''FreeDictionary.com''.〕 Boogie woogie developed from a piano style that developed in the rough barrelhouse bars in the Southern states, where a piano player performed for the hard-drinking patrons. Wayne Schmidt remarks that with boogie-woogie songs, the "bass line isn't just a time keeper or 'fill' for the right hand"; instead, the bassline has equal importance to the right hand's melodic line. He argues that many boogie-woogie basslines use a "rising/falling sequence of notes" called walking bass line.〔Schmidt, Wayne. ("Wayne Schmidt's Boogie Woogie Page" ), ''This and That''.〕 The origin of the term ''boogie-woogie'' is unknown, according to ''Webster's Third New International Dictionary''. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' states that the word is a redoubling of ''boogie'', which was used for rent parties as early as 1913. The term may be derived from Black West African English, from the Sierra Leone term "bogi", which means "to dance"; as well, it may be akin to the phrase "hausa buga", which means "to beat drums."〔 In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the term "could mean anything from a racy style of dance to a raucous party or to a sexually transmitted disease."〔Cavalieri, Nate. ("Boogie Knight" ), ''Metro Times Detroit''. 18 December 2002 8:00:00 AM.〕 In Peter Silvester’s book on boogie woogie, ''Left Hand Like God — the Story of Boogie Woogie'' he states that, in 1929, “boogie-woogie is used to mean either dancing or music in the city of Detroit.”〔Silvester, Peter (1989). ''A Left Hand Like God: A History of Boogie-Woogie Piano''. ISBN 0-306-80359-3.〕 Schmidt claims that the "earliest record of boogie woogie was Texan pianist George W. Thomas' release of ''New Orleans Hop Scop Blues'' as sheet music in 1916." 〔 Boogie hit the charts with Pine Top Smith's ''Pine Top's Boogie'' in 1929, which garnered the number 20 spot. In the late 1930s, boogie became part of the then popular Swing style, as big bands such as "Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, and Louis Jordan...all had boogie hits." Swing big band audiences expected to hear boogie tunes, because the beat could be used for the then-popular dances such as the jitterbug and the Lindy Hop. As well, country artists began playing boogie woogie in the late 1930s, when Johnny Barfield recorded "Boogie Woogie". The Delmore Brothers "Freight Train Boogie" shows how country music and blues were being blended to form the genre which would become known as rockabilly. The Sun Records-era rockabilly sound used "wild country boogie piano" as part of its sound.〔Hoffmann, Frank. ("Rockabilly" ), ''Survey of American Popular Music'', modified for the web by Robert Birkline.〕 However, by the early 1950s, boogie became less popular, and by the mid-1950s, its related form, rock & roll, became the most popular style.〔 By the mid-1970s, the meaning of the term returned to its roots, in a certain sense, as during the disco era, "to boogie" meant "to dance in a disco style". In the 1980s, country bands such as The Charlie Daniels Band used boogie woogie in songs such as the 1988 "Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues". In 1991 Brooks & Dunn released "Boot Scootin' Boogie".
