Born in France and raised in the UK, Henri Herbert was drawn to the music of piano playing of madman pioneers such as Jerry Lee Lewis and Albert Ammons. He continues to promote and curate the sound of 20th Century American Blues pianists with his recent release, Get It While It’s Hot. Rather than simply copying the sound of the 1950’s Rock’n’Roll with his own original music, Henri Herbert brings the sound forward into 2025, putting a powerful backbeat underneath the jukebox swing of “If I Could” as he sets his piano keys on fire with the sizzling force of “I Got the Fury”, fully leaning into the flames with a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire”.

Piano born Boogie Woogie pours from the fingers of Henri Herbert and is the resident soundtrack for Get It While It’s Hot. A pounding beat begins the song cycle on the album with opening cut “Cold City” as Henri Herbert raises a glass to toast toxic love in “Poison” and struts on a frenetic beat to announce “Nothing Free”. Get It While It’s Hot dances to a “Texas Boogie”, hammers the rhythm for the story of “Blood from a Stone”, and weighs in on “Guilty Pleasures”. Henri Herbert pounds out a beat on his piano to lay out his resume with “Bad”, exiting the album on a runaway rhythm that acts as a pulpit for the Soul shouter “Talking Trash”. (by Danny McCloskey)
