Earl "Fatha" Hines

[@kzustang]

Stride master, jazz inventor, piano ruler. One of the absolute best ever.

[@joseluishuerta3898]

Genial e infravalorado el gran Hines.Hay que reivindicar su importancia y legado en posteriores pianistas.

[@MrTolesi]

Better than just magic - utterly amazing from the very greatest pianist of them all ...

[@Laurenzatto54]

The most creative and original pianist ever (with Monk) and one of the creator of jazz piano with JR Morton, JP Johnson, Fats Waller, Eubie Blake and Willie the Lion Smith

[@Thouveninpascal]

the "most"... stupid.

[@wayneconn1079]

They all followed him.Art . Erroll etc . He is still the man 😊👍

[@claudeandurand6708]

Excellente vidéo en hommage à ce merveilleux pianiste que fut Earl Hines accompagné de légendes comme Ben Webster,Stuff Smith au violon et Roy Eldridge .

[@EyaoPantah]

Earl Hines! Quedé asombrado por su estilo, muy original para la época

[@wayneconn1079]

The Man that caused shock waves across the piano world . Still the man always will be . Love Earl soooooo original in everyway

Grazie, Luciano invernizzi, magic an d

[@LongwingSeagull]

Some of the finest musicians every assembled. America`s best.

[@kennethhodges3187]

Definately in my top four pianists of all time! The other three being Oscar Peterson Art Tatum and Teddy Wilson!

[@jacobzimmermann59]

Add Erroll Garner and Dick Wellstood to make it the Top Six :)

[@kennethhodges3187]

@@jacobzimmermann59 No argument with that! I have always maintained that lovers of jazz piano have been well served. I can't think of any other instrument that has spawned so much talent. I could go on about this subject at length but for now would just say that although he was better know as a vocalist Nat Cole was an excellent pianist. Oh, and what about Ray Bryant!?

[@jacobzimmermann59]

@@kennethhodges3187 I can think of some phenomenal talent on other instruments too, like the trumpet (Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis...) or the guitar (Django Reinhardt, Joe Pass...). I've listened to Nat King Cole several times but for some reason I never felt any magic there. On the other hand, check out Stephane Grapelli. He's mostly known as a violin player, of course, but he also played the piano - and whether style-wise or technique-wise, he was like Art Tatum's twin brother.

[@kennethhodges3187]

@@jacobzimmermann59 I didn't mean to imply that musicians on other instruments were not of equal importance. It's just that there have been so many good piano players, hundreds in fact, so by sheer force of numbers they didn't all get their dues! You can in fact find a pianist of worth, for every letter in the alphabet! For the letter 'A' alone there is Don Abney, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Joe Albany, Monty Alexander, Albert Ammons, George Arvanitas, Marvin Ash, and Lynne Arriale. The list goes on...........

[@MrTolesi]

@@kennethhodges3187 ... and Jay McShann. His "I'll Catch the Sun" definitely on my greatest-ever list.

[@ginacooper3338]

My family!!! His father Joseph and my great grandfather Edward were brothers!😊

[@lincolnrossmusic]

I believe this was in 1965 .. Earl would have been around 62. Thanks for posting. Was reading where he worked in gangster Al Capones's Grand Terrance Cafe for 12 years from age 25 to 37 ...later a young Charlie Parker and Dizzy came through his band ... what a story !!!!

[@viharce]

lrossmusic is there a video of that?

[@lincolnrossmusic]

not that I have found yet

[@MrTolesi]

Go see Hines on the Grand Terrace Cafe etc @ Earl Fatha Hines on Vimeo - just sheer, sheer, magic

[@LongwingSeagull]

Earl Hines talks about his time at the Grand Terrace in the 1975 ITV interview. He also talks a lot about his early days in the Jazz Casual interview. Both are on KZbin.

[@MrTolesi]

@@lincolnrossmusic Re The Grand Terrace Cafe etc. go see Hines again at the WONDERFUL kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5yrpqKhhayfndk

[@pedroa.cantero9449]

Según Stuart Isacoff, Fatha Hines fue uno de los inflamables del piano. Sus improvisaciones lúcidas, tiernas, o feroces marcarían una época irrenunciable del jazz

[@plezurhounds]

For said footage to end on "Tenderly" seems apt... Best to all...

[@luxien7681]

The Jimi Hendrix of the piano !

[@areguapiri]

The Andres Segovia of the piano.

[@Thouveninpascal]

The Picasso of piano?

[@jacobzimmermann59]

He makes it look so easy... !

[@viharce]

definitely...just like all the masters 😁

[@anatolkojanov6040]

Блестящий джаз не и пианист от бога! Но руки, руки...нет слов!!!

[@zzausel]

Some prefer Art Tatum, but I think golden rings are good for playing piano.

[@WickBeavers]

He doesn't love what he's doing much. Me either.

[@obertstephenjr]

What? Not sure if you like it!
