The Great 28

Chuck Berry gets the moniker of "father of Rock and roll" In 1955 Chuck Berry recorded Maybeline which riffed off of Bob Willi's "Ida Red." Berry took the lead from Charles Hogan and replaced the leading piano with a leading guitar. The same stop time and 4 beat bar that traces through blues and jazz. Berry took the showmanship of T-Bone Waler and amplified

Barrel House Piano

While Carl Hogan provided the guitar licks and Louis Jordan the vibe of rock and roll the boogey woogie piano players laid the foundation of the 2/4 beat. Meade Lux Lewis was one of the greatest boogey-woogie bashers of ivory. Boogey Woogey followed the same time scales of Blues but provided the upbeat rock and roll would need.

Jump Jive kept the 2/4 beat with the piano as the lead. Carl Hogan, the tympany guitar player though laid down riffs that would lead to the guitar replacing the piano as lead in R&B and R
