===1930s to 1940s: Carnegie Hall and swing===
Boogie-woogie gained further public attention in 1938, thanks to the ''[[From Spirituals to Swing]]'' concert in [[Carnegie Hall]] promoted by [[record producer]] [[John H. Hammond|John Hammond]].<ref name="Music">{{cite book|last=Du Noyer|first=Paul|url=https://archive.org/details/illustratedencyc0000unse_j5o2/page/164/mode/2up|title=The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Music|publisher=Flame Tree Publishing|year=2003|isbn=1-904041-96-5|edition=1st|location=Fulham, London|page=165}}</ref> The concert featured [[Big Joe Turner]] and [[Pete Johnson (musician)|Pete Johnson]] performing Turner's tribute to Johnson, "[[Roll 'Em Pete]]", as well as Meade Lux Lewis performing "Honky Tonk Train Blues" and Albert Ammons playing "Swanee River Boogie". "Roll 'Em Pete" is now considered to be an early [[rock and roll]] song.

These three pianists, with Turner, took up residence in the [[Café Society]] night club in [[New York City]] where they were popular with the sophisticated set. They often played in combinations of two and even three pianos, creating a richly textured piano performance.

After the Carnegie Hall concert, it was only natural for swing bands to incorporate the boogie-woogie beat into some of their music. [[Tommy Dorsey]]'s band recorded an updated version of "[[Pine Top's Boogie Woogie]]" in 1938, which (as "Boogie Woogie") became a hit in 1943 and 1945,<ref name=pc2a>{{Pop Chronicles 40s|2|A}}</ref> and was to become the [[swing era]]'s second best seller, only second to [[Glenn Miller]]'s "[[In the Mood]]". In 1939, at the suggestion of [[Columbia Records]] producer [[John Hammond (producer)|John Hammond]], [[Harry James]] recorded the singles [[Boo-Woo]] and [[Woo-Woo (song)|Woo-Woo]] with [[Pete Johnson (musician)|Pete Johnson]] and [[Albert Ammons]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Levinson |first=Peter |author-link=Peter J.

That same year, [[The Andrews Sisters]] had a top 10 hit single with their recording of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy".

The popularity of the Carnegie Hall concert meant work for many of the fellow boogie players and also led to the adaptation of boogie-woogie sounds to many other forms of music. [[Tommy Dorsey]]'s band had a hit with "T.D.'s Boogie Woogie" as arranged by [[Sy Oliver]], and soon there were boogie-woogie songs, recorded and printed, of many different stripes. These included most famously, in the big-band genre, the ubiquitous "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", which was revamped by [[Christina Aguilera]] as her 2006 hit, "[[Candyman (Christina Aguilera song)|Candyman]]".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ScjucUV8v0| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211117/-ScjucUV8v0| archive-date=2021-11-17 | url-status=live|title=Christina Aguilera - Candyman (Official Music Video)| date=7 November 2009|access-date=March 31, 2021|publisher=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
