Memories of you - Earl Hines.1965

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.

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.
