Earl Hines explains his influences and technique Part

[MrJimmienoone]

A basic piece of jazz history. Ragtime bass with the left hand and Fatha's trumpet style in the right hand. I admire this man who got better with each year he lived.

[zn37]

omg.... I wish earl was my friend,

[kasponya]

Wow! To hear the master break it down like that is a great treat! His lingering high octave lick emulating a sustained trumpet note is regarded by many as a typical Herbie Hancock lick - I wonder who young Herbie was checking out growing up in Earl Hines' stomping grounds of Chicago.... :)

[kujiro10001]

What is this show?



[charlyblues]

4:45  wow.

[barrympls]

Amazing film showing that he never forgot any of his prior piano styles! Wonderful. I wonder what year this film was shot.

[Messjuh1]

Love the way he smiles while playing and goes "ha, ha" when he has finished. Love you, Earl!

[Rickriquinho]

Yes yes yes!!!! I love it!

[Djrealign]

incredible! i can't believe how much information can be given at one time!

[bracico]

Very clever man! Natural in every way.

[claitontesch]

Genious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JazzKeyboardist1]

he makes people want to practice or get off the pot

[chas63]

Every inch the equal of Louis, Sidney and Duke. Soooo underappreciated.

[potatoepeter1]

[coolcolbass]

[potatoepeter1]

Great 

[meredith21846]

Earl Hines, now this is class!. A true jazz virtuoso.

[mikeaimer]

Why isn't this its own channel on television?

[mdhbigdog]

I appreciated his explanation of "trumpet style octaves" at 9:00. Great video!

[JakWho92]

one handed octave glissando at 7:20!

[bmbacchus]

Is the remaining parts of this show/video available anywhere?

[RevWrona]

A Major 10th?  Just thinking about hitting a major 10th chord is hurting my hand. I can hardly hit a major 8th. Great video, thanks for posting.

[ScottFree37]

[SkeeMaskUNO]

thanks for sharing@

[blah148]

those tenths sound so nice

anyone know any tunes where he primarily uses them?

[earsoup]

Art Tatum's favorite piano player, that tells a lot.

[MuscleheadsUnite]

@earsoup where did u hear that??

[MrTolesi]

Wiki says:- 'According to pianist Teddy Wilson and saxophonist Eddie Barefield, "Art Tatum's favorite jazz piano player was Earl Hines. He [Tatum] used to buy all of Earl's records and would improvise on them. He'd play the record but he'd improvise over what Earl was doing ..... course, when you heard Art play you didn't hear nothing of anybody but Art. But he got his ideas from Earl's style of playing - but Earl never knew that". From "Too Marvelous for Words": The Life and Genius of Art Tatum

[Lonewolf1126]

Wow, what a cool guy!

[coolcolbass]

why'd it stop right at the bass!?

[rtsinister]

Thank you for the lesson! This is an amazing tutorial...

[likemyviolin]

[foreveryoung232]

[ClassicalOJazz]

An exceptional pianist

[davyfiore]

A serious artist and a true gentleman.

[shaswords]

immigrants and 6thh graders should have to view this as one of their requirements.

[jubulalau]

These guys are fucking great.

[77jazzpiano]

Wow, thanks a million for this!!

[pcoldham]

fantastic cymbal techniques at the end too

[leesterg]

Earl "Fatha" Hines was just one of the greatest musicians ever to bring joy to the planet.

[Tehpizzahut]

God.. This is like my favorite video on YouTube.

Seriously. My hero.

[shubus]

What a classy guy! Very articulate with his tremendous ability play. Clearly he knew exactly what he was doing. Very grateful for this footage.

[custardapple777]

Such a lovely man, zero attitude, so generous. Hot glissando.

Thanks heaps for sharing. Yep it's a real privilege to have this footage.

[heru1966]

It's a privilege to be able to watch a master at work. Just beautiful. :-)

[pyromohanzed]

I wish there would be audio books on things like this so that I can learn different types of playing while on the bus with an mp3 player rather than trying to think up of everything all the time in the noise.

[tedthepenguin9999]

amazing.

does anyone know if there's a part 2 uploaded?

[SERiF7321]

This is like 40 piano lessons in 10 minutes. If you have any piano skill and musical imagination, even this much will improve you.

Thank you Earl Hines!

[AcousticUplift]

@SERiF7321 It's even helpful for novices like me trying to get to grips with the history of Jazz. Extremely useful.

[iiiiiccccc]

@SERiF7321 totally agree - wish i had a piano where i am right now..

[wforzo]

He makes it seem so INSANELY effortless. He wasn't even looking! 6:52

[rblossey]

Does anybody know what song he plays at 3:08 is? I've never heard it before but I love it! If anybody knows please tell me, I'd really like to learn it. Piano playing doesn't get any better than this!

[chisuki10]

Hee hee what a lovely man! he was so happy talking about and playing his music! truly a wonderful musician!
