Piano blues

Piano blues refers to a variety of blues styles, sharing only the characteristic that they use the piano as the primary musical instrument. Ragtime and boogie woogie are the best known kinds of piano blues, though barrelhouse[?], swing, R&B, rock and roll and jazz are strongly influenced by early pianists who played the blues.
