[bluesman33]

Fatha Hines has his fingers in all the Jazz since I was a child (born 1933). What a wonderful musician and he just keeps on bringing it.

i just keep coming back to this documentary - it's so naturalistic in a way modern docs aren't. they just put the camera on him and let him talk... theycleaner really strings it together too - it's just a beautiful slice of life.

it doesnt surprise me that hines seems so good natured, it's right there in his music. the man had a sublime talent. the version of "Say It Isnt so" around 35 mins is just beautiful, poginant and moving in equal measure.

thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you very much to hang up this extraordinary documentary. Now Hines can reach more and more followers all around the world.

[ImaniHekima]

Beautiful, a privilege to watch this.

[PeterInglisGuitar]

The man is an absolute master of real time composition. The word 'jazz' encompasses so many approaches to music it is almost meaningless. Hines is an inspiration and deserves a category of his own!

[orlando4166]

I really like the Jazz is my passion, especially the Jazz Piano, is like an obsession for me. Excelente video.

[ingvar198]

[vimana19pianomedley]

My ears and my eyes deceive me, I should start listening to this guy more and put that dude Tatum aside for an Oscar Peterson, two months to be precise. Lol...

[vimana19pianomedley]

This is goooooooood...!!



[TheSidvin]

In some of the passages I felt that I was in the room with THE MAN and he was playing just for me. A rare privelege.

[TheSidvin]

Thank you for telling me about this post. I am 79 and I have known Earl Hine's music since I was 10.

[CMO5569]

Thank you for posting.  Wonderful!

[DajaWaja]

His sense of rhythm and having fun making music makes me wanna continue studying piano!!

[JazzKeyboardist1]

thanks

[barrtok]

thank you!

A beautiful jazz documentary vid is from Tolesi on Earl Hines. Hines said that he played octaves in his right hand on piano to be heard over the horns, which included Louis Armstrong! His two-handed voicings and passing notes and harmonic thinking are additional contributions to the art of jazz.

[gettingitright100]

This music is just incredible. I love the way Hines' music builds thru the film until, in Pt II, "Stanley's Dance" and then "Say it isn't So" are just magical. Wow, just Wow - and thank you.

[bshieldsbb01]

Pipe smoking is a dying art.

[mrgreebly]

I remember him at the Bull's Head

[weatherkop]

It's always a treat to watch an older film that talks about even older subjects. Shows a greater depth of perspective.

[Stuart154]

Really interesting, didn't expect that i'd watch it all but it went by so quickly. Loved the parts about Al Capone and the prohibition act in the 1920s.

[kilorat]

That guy looks like Bob Dobbs.

[Ievolovel]

Know ya roots AIGHT?!

[EarlFaulk]

Now that looks old!

[minnescanada]

@EarlFaulk In the film they say he is 70 at the time then, so that would make the date of this film about 1972 or so.

[minnescanada]

I wish I could this 10 thumbs up!
