george thomas and his brother hersal thomas migrated from texas to chicago, and brought boogie-woogie with them. they were an immense influence on other pianists, including jimmy yancey, meade lux lewis, albert ammons and many others. many elements that we now know as elements of boogie-woogie are present in hersal and george thomas' "the fives". according to tennison, "although some boogie woogie bass figures were present in prior sheet music, the thing that made 'the fives' so special was the greater amount and variety of boogie woogie bass figures that were present in the music as compared to boogie woogie bass figures that had been present in previously published sheet music, such as the 1915 "weary blues" by artie matthews.
