Memories of you - Earl Hines.1965
Музыка
In a piano workshop in Berlin in 1965 we see and hear pianist Earl "Fatha" Hines perform "Memories of You".
Earl "Fatha" Hines (1903-1983) played piano in Chicago clubs in the 1920s, first as a soloist and later as a bandleader. He made several recordings with Louis Armstrong in the '20s and '30s, then joined Armstrong again in the late 1940s to tour with the All Stars. He made scores of recordings, including "Stormy Monday Blues" and "Second Balcony Jump," toured the world and made records into the 1970s. Known for his great technique and talent for improvisation, Hines' horn-like phrasing and rhythm influenced popular jazz through the swing era and into bebop.

My favourite jazz pianist. No one plays like this now and I was privileged to meet him and chat on a couple of occasions at his shows in England. A real gent

I know Earl Fatha Hines!
This man was truly a great artist and a wonderful person. A piano player that used a left hand. Basie said Earl was the best ever. He was from Pittsburgh and returned from time to time to play during the arts festival for free. He loved people and people that knew him loved him as well. You don't find guys like Earl anymore. He has been gone a long time now but I still miss him. Thanks for the gift.

Once (in late 1977, I think) I was a houseparent for a halfway home for kids and I took them to see Earl Hines at the Three Rivers Arts Festival. I tried to explain that they were watching a Pittsburgh legend. I hope I got through!

@@sethginsburg6698 Wow ! @sethginsburg6698. - ( and @alois140 )- You are one lucky guy. And guess what. I was born, 1960, three months premature, in Pittsburgh. My Dad - a New Yorker - and my mom - from Minnesota - They got pregnant with me in undergrad. college - shotgun marriage - lol - but Dad was a real good trumpeter and self-taught pianist, though he became a banker. But anyway, blah blah blah … ❤❤❤❤ Earl Hines… Not to mention Erroll Garner… Man, there was something about Pittsburgh, huh?! EARL HINES - Legend !❤. you and Erroll Garner… You are just… There are no words. That is so great you gave those youngsters the chance to hear him. I am so wistfully jealous! ❤❤❤
I tried to think of something witty to say about anyone who would thumbs down this, but there just aren't words. They can wallow in their sorrow.
Beautiful. Earl Hines - no one finer.
Golden hands, pure heart and a great mind
Simply awesome (and I come from the Bud/McCoy side of things).
This might be my favourite, because I am smiling, along with Earl, from the moment this video begins and I never stop, throughout. A singular joy.
Superb
Absolutely beautiful! I replayed this more than a dozen times upon hearing it for the first time. Feels like it’s changed my life for the better and such a wonderful reminder of the ancestors. Thank u so much for taking the time to share this with us all
Fantastic
That's my favorite song and he gave it justice!!!
Awesome 👏
Amazing

TRULY! I only came to him late, and know one stellar jazz pianist (whose style is not at all like Fatha's), but once started, I could not get enough of him. As far back as he goes and continuing right on to the end of his career, his playing is somehow out of time and place, always on the cutting edge of originality, and always sounds new and fresh.
Earl Hines joue avec plaisir et nous transmet ce plaisir dans son jeu, mais aussi dans son expression, où nous sentons son bonheur et son désir de nous réjouir. Un grand homme, un géant du jazz apprécié depuis longtemps en France.
Great pianista !!! Genious . Theo most important of The jazz
One of the greatest and the the most original style pianist in jazz history, with his incomparable manner of playing.

@@SeanStanley1986 Thank you so much for your kind words! He was my great uncle. I wish I knew more about him. He, along with late dancer Gregory Hines, were the part of the Hines family that settled up north in New York and made lives for themselves up there; whereas, much of the Hines family stayed down South in states like: Georgia and North Carolina. I'm glad that he has influenced you and so many other, as well. I hope his legacy continues to live on! Peace and Blessings.

@RipCity! Thank you so much!
The jazz pianist with the most creative mind. Earl Hines disassembled melodies and put them back together in thrilling ways. The word "genius" is sorely overused today, but this guy was a true musical genius.
Thanks to KZread I play this incredible version of Memories of You every single day - sometimes twice!
No one tops the Fatha.
Too often overlooked in today's world. He was a force!
Most wonderful. A pure essence in his playing, achieved by no other.
This man had a huge influence on Art Tatum!
Wow he is the Titan, the Gemstone of golden era of jazz!!!
so beautiful, thanks for these wonderful memories - fatha
Wonderful - thank you.
Earl Hines got his career started in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA during his high school years before ever performing in Chicago.
Earl at his very best. Thank you.
If I don't stop now I'm gonna break the replay button. OH MAN!

Earl Hines had a strong influence on a lot of jazz pianists who came after him. His contribution toward the development of phrasing on the piano is undeniable. Dick Hyman explains everything about Earl Hines and his style in one of his lessons. For those who are interested, this material is easily found.
Love it! Earl Hines: All our swingin' father ;)

A great song composed by Eubie Blake performed wonderfully
man this is exciting.. so powerful..
this is real music right here... speechless
I'm not very big into jazz but I picked up one of his records today because I loved the album cover, and WOW what a beautiful sound!!! I was absolutely blown away on my first listen and I'm going to go back to that store and pick up at least another of his records
Just starting too appreciate peace and love in life also being calm and having appreciation for the little things. Here because of 89.3 WQED classics Pittsburgh. Go sit in a lake if you want to be a silly goose.
He is one of greats! there's so much love in his playing you can see it on he's smiling face and I love him too.
He enjoys his plying himself, it's expressed on his face and I think It' a great happiness for a person.
stunningly beautiful!
Magnificent!
Delightful indeed. Wonderful memories that come to life again. Big THANKS for your trouble .-))
I remember when I first heard him on a Benny Carter's record from 58'. Unbeliveable.
Oh yeah, man! Earl = All Our Swingin' Father!!
Earl Hines was a major influence on Art Tatum. Much of Tatum's virtuosity can be attributed to Hines' flair.
lovely!
Magical !!! Thank you for sharing this 5* post.
Greetz from the Gurgalatte region in Denmark. This is a delikatessen!

@@SELMER1947 I like Fats Waller too as an entertainer. He never played serious jazz compositions and improvisation. Listen to Dvorak's ,,Humoresque'' and it will be enough to agree with me. He plays it much better than Art Tatum himself.
Que se puede agregar ? Simplemente maravilloso !!!!!! Thank you Earl, wherever you are !!!!!!!!!
"Memories of You" was written by James Herbert "Eubie" Blake (February 7, 1887 - February 12, 1983) with lyrics by Andy Razaf and was first performed on March 4, 1929 in the musical show "Blackbirds of 1930" in New York City. Memories of You is one of my favorite songs.

Well, folks . . . Hines once commented about "improvisation" . . . "Better pay attention, 'cause after the first chorus, I go for MYSELF!" If you can find a copy, read British jazz writer Stanley Dance's book about Hines. Gary in Arizona

It's interesting how many talk about only Art tatum and Oscar Peterson. I had no idea that there was such an amazing pianist in their time, and it's weird he's older than them. In my opinion, he's at least at the same level as Art tatum and Oscar Peterson. He's such a great jazz pianist ever.

I agree. To be a really GREAT improvisor is one one of the VERY hardest things on all the world: so yes, I'd say Garner [just], certainly Fats Waller, possibly Peterson [GREAT piano player that he was but improvisor ??], above all Fatha Hines and yes, Jimmy Yancey, Jelly Roll Morton, Bill Evans, Jay McShann and a MINUTE number of others.
