Editing Jimmy Yancey (section)

==Legacy and influence==
In 1973, the Dutch composer [[Louis Andriessen]] premiered ''On Jimmy Yancey'', a two-movement work scored for nine wind instruments, piano and double bass. Andriessen observed that Yancey was not merely one of the pioneers of the boogie-woogie piano style. "The leaping left hand of Ragtime changed into a monotonous repeating train-like figure, which in fact was more melodious than the Ragtime bass. In the first movement, three Yancey themes are quoted; the second is a kind of In Memoriam. Both movements end with a typical boogie-woogie lick, with which Yancey unexpectedly ends all his recordings. He probably did this at a sign from the producer, when the three minutes which a 78 side could hold were up, because boogie-woogie pianists habitually played for hours on end in the bars to entertain the white bourgeoisie."<ref>Andriessen, L., [http://www.boosey.com/cr/music/Louis-Andriessen-On-Jimmy-Yancey/2893 ''On Jimmy Yancey''] (London: [[Boosey & Hawkes]], 1973).</ref>
