The Killer playing his one of his hits. Although he is no Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson, Or Otis Spann, he did open the doors to boogie woogie piano playing to white audiences. This is footage from the old Tonight Show with Steve Allen. This is the famous clip where Jerry kicks out his chair, and Steve Allen throws it back across the stage! I must admit that this is not one of Jerry's better performances, actually it is pretty sloppy, but it is energetic.
