Benny Carter-Earl Hines Quartet 1976

[@gynack]

I count myself fortunate to have seen Earl Hines live in a jazz club in London c. 1965., just himself solo. A great experience. A two-handed pianist who had the whole audience in his hands.

@@alanparr6700 hahaha yeah it looks like a misunderstanding there 😅 poor Carter ^^

[@georgemcfetridge8310]

Just remarkable how Carter rises above the rinky dink rhythm section here, showing both parodic wit and power. What a professional. Also remarkable is the impression he gives during his improvs of being ahead of where he is at any given moment, as though he's in command of the musical future. This imparts a real feeling of mastery to the listener. This seems to be an ability of the best, most moving soloists.

[@PabloVestory]

In that "rinky dink" section is Earl Hines, 73 years old at the time, pianist of many of the legendary early hits of Louis Armstrong,a true innovator in jazz and piano then, later he hired young unknown players like Parker and Gilespie...and many things more. Respect.

[@georgemcfetridge8310]

Hines and Bud Powell are my two deepest, most expressive piano figures, each of them close creatively, respectively, to the supreme Armstrong and Parker. The bass and drums sound horrible here, and Hines should be held responsible for hiring them. I'm sure Carter wouldn't have. @@PabloVestory

[@PabloVestory]

@@georgemcfetridge8310 Fair enough. It could be the atrocious sound and the detuned piano could have some guilt here of the absence of a nice groove

[@georgemcfetridge8310]

No. You're giving too much adulation to the playing of crap by revered musicians. Earl Hines veered off really badly into show biz in his later period, to the derision of many musicians, like Art Blakey for example.This isn't a question of differing styles, either.@@PabloVestory

Mindblowing stuff...!!!

👍👍👍🎶

[@crownpropeller]

Great!

[@harleywhitesr]

Harley White Sr. on bass, not Harley White Jr.

[@Jazzer-rr8lo]

The lack of stereo makes it tough to listen to

[@PhrygianPhrog]

might be the recording quality but there's something wrong with that piano! (Hines is excellent as always, of course)

[@justinward3687]

Has the mic dropped into the piano? Well out of tune

[@juancpgo]

:( sound only on left, impossible to enjoy this treasure

[@vova47]

Where have they found that piano?!!.... In a gutter somewhere it sounds like. Total disrespect to the legends of jazz.

[@BixBolden]

Great masters, but... kill the TV-sound-people. Bass overflooding the whole group. Completely out of tune piano without sonority. The Kings Benny Carter and especially Early Hines behind everything. Sorry, PA = Pissed Amateurs

[@PabloVestory]

Well, spanish TV 1976, only one year after the prehistoric dictatorship of fascist Franco... it's really remarkable that they broadcasted any jazz quartet

[@jeffcraven7376]

Hine's piano's not even miked. Carter was always too tame; rather hear Bird, then Hawk, Jimmy Dorsey, Sonny Stitt, or Charlie Rouse.

[@jeffcraven7376]

Listen starting with "Misty", Hine's mike is back online; enjoy!

[@jeffcraven7376]

After "Misty" my only thought after the next tune; the guy doing the mixing was too drunk to tie his shoes except to a table leg.
