Blues piano is a style of piano playing built around the 12-bar blues progression, blue notes, and techniques such as boogie-woogie left-hand bass patterns and improvised right-hand riffs. It has roots in early 20th-century African American music and has influenced rock and roll, jazz, and gospel piano styles, with notable players including Otis Spann and Professor Longhair. Musicians study blues piano to develop improvisation skills and a feel for rhythm and blues idioms.
