User:Викидим/Stomping

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stomping is a performing practice, common to an early jazz, that accentuates the four beats of a quadruple meter music. The term is also used to describe the foot-stomping accompaniment in solo blues performance (e.g., in Hastings Street Boogie by John Lee Hooker) and stomp style shuffle rhythm in rock-n-roll.[1]

On a piano, the stomping was executed by heavy on-beat left-hand playing, creating a rougher "barrelhouse" variant of ragtime (the right hand still played the syncopated melody[2]). Boogie-woogie has transformed stomping into forceful left-hand equal-weight bass rhythms.[3]

Stompin' Tom Connors got his stage name from the foot-stomping he used in his performances.[1]
