- 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
O, You LUCKY !!!!
Mine too, along with Teddy Wilson, Jelly Roll Morton and Nat King Cole.
Vim pela série dois homens e meio kkkk impressionante
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! ❤❤❤
A superior form of the musical intellect!
That's a superior form of musical acclamation.
it's true
You've said it all!
Delightful indeed. Wonderful memories that come to life again.
Big THANKS for your trouble .-))
I have 7 years more to play like him if not I ll quit
un orgasmo sonoro.................puro arte pianístico humano..........totallllllllllllllllllllllll..............todo un saber estar artístico............................................una delicia para los oídos......para los sentidos todos......................un campo inmenso de hilos ...........mentales............en el teclado de el piano...............en las manos de uno de los mas grandes pianistas de todos los tiempos........................
"orgamso sonoro" lol! I guess in french it would be 'petite mort du son' lmao
WOW
wow
Even many people who think of themselves as jazz fans don´t know Earl HInes, but he was incredibly important. Beautiful!
I know him, Mark!
I know Earl Fatha Hines!
Simply awesome (and I come from the Bud/McCoy side of things).
Golden hands, pure heart and a great mind
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
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.
One of the greatest and the the most original style pianist in jazz history, with his incomparable manner of playing.
I don't think I've ever heard jazz piano played like this - truly 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.
I'm actually related to this man, I'm so proud of this legacy!
Quite right to be UTTERLY proud, Kelilah
He is the boss of jazz
Wow, I'm a (modest) Hines disciple and yes you should be proud. Truly Fatha to so many. Not sure how much you know about him, but no him, no Nat Cole, Teddy, he hired Bird and Diz,and influenced so many others by extension.
@@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!
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.
Earl Hines was a major influence on Art Tatum. Much of Tatum's virtuosity can be attributed to Hines' flair.
This man had a huge influence on Art Tatum!
Most wonderful. A pure essence in his playing, achieved by no other.
Beautiful performance
That's my favorite song and he gave it justice!!!
Who wouldn't love Earl Hines and this tune?
This melody was a favourite and he admired Eubie Blake who composed it
Too often overlooked in today's world. He was a force!
Thanks to RUclips I play this incredible version of Memories of You every single day - sometimes twice!
Awesome 👏
Wonderful.. Bloody wonderful. Enough to resurrect Ubie Blake! Oh Shit...If only, if only!
Unique precious style. I have Earl planted in my heart. Mmmmm .....
Beautiful. Earl Hines - no one finer.
A great song composed by Eubie Blake performed wonderfully
He enjoys his plying himself, it's expressed on his face and I think It' a great happiness for a person.
RIght At the top with the greats like Tatum. So charming and amzing.
so beautiful, thanks for these wonderful memories - fatha
Earl at his very best. Thank you.
Great pianista !!! Genious . Theo most important of The jazz
The greatest pianists in jazz history ever in my opinion are: Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Earl Hines and Erroll Garner
I agree those four guys are the GOATS along with Bill Evans and bud powell behind all four of them
Magistral interpretation simple stupendous ! Fantastic melody and video thank you. Greetings from Brazil.
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.
No one tops the Fatha.
Superb
But Michael [& everyone], have you also found Hines playing 'Memories of You' on the AMAZING Earl Fatha Hines 1hr video on Vimeo? It's just beautiful ... go find!
"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.
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.
Wonderful - thank you.
Fantastic
Amazing
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.
Earl Hines got his career started in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA during his high school years before ever performing in Chicago.
I've loved Earl "Fatha" Hines, since I was 15 years old. I'm really old today, LOL. 72.
Darei 70 anni dei miei per vivere un ora da earl o errol o ramsey...al piano ovviamente...
Que se puede agregar ? Simplemente maravilloso !!!!!! Thank you Earl, wherever you are !!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest and most inventive pianist ever
Maybe the greatest ever? Hines is for me.
stunningly beautiful!
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
yes - and go see the lovely 1hr Earl Hines docu on Vimeo
Love it! Earl Hines: All our swingin' father ;)
Magical !!!
Thank you for sharing this 5* post.
man this is exciting.. so powerful..
I remember when I first heard him on a Benny Carter's record from 58'. Unbeliveable.
Este extraordinario músico parece haber nacido literalmente pegado a un piano.
¿Habéis escuchado su 'Trav'lin' (piano y voz)? Descomunal.
this is real music right here... speechless
If I don't stop now I'm gonna break the replay button. OH MAN!
Wonderful. I love listening his piano perfomances.
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
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.
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.
Tatum always acknowledged Hines as being his mentor - see the Hines Wikip entry. Personally I'm much more moved by Hines that I am by Tatum or Peterson ... but then that's just me!
Ah.......what a delightful little melody!
this is bebop piano came from. bud powel was good, but this guy had the lines before powell
Magnificent!
Simply great ! No other words ! My most favorite pianist.
Mine too ...
My favorite with Waller, Tatum and Garner
@@SELMER1947 I also love Tatum and Garner, but Waller as a pianist can not be placed besides them
@@tamazpatarkalashvili2811 Oh yes he can !!! Fabulous piano touch, perfect technique and a relax play which was never equalled ! Without him and JP Johnson, no stride piano !!!!
@@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.
Wow he is the Titan, the Gemstone of golden era of jazz!!!
This is a few months after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed (I think)
lovely!
Oh yeah, man!
Earl = All Our Swingin' Father!!
Wonderful!!
Greetz from the Gurgalatte region in Denmark.
This is a delikatessen!
Oh wow, Earl :Fatha" Hines was our entertainment on grad night in 1962. Brings back the memories. ;-)
Memories of you the tchouey !
this is.. from . outer space
pls lets mention. eubie blake
Genial!
Magnificent
Wow
At the risk of sounding lame...is he any kin to Gregory Hines? Oh yeah!
Poppin'Boppin'! Gracious me!
Have you all found the 1hr HInes docu now on Vimeo?
It's just wonderful
let us not fawget eubie-- the sawce
but to this dude, i say. wow.. wow. wow man.. holy god
Wow this is so fully formed and before bop and powell et al. And monk too. Boy was I out of the loop!
Modern jazz piano truly starts with Hines.
.... just like Dizzie Gillespie said - see the Hines Wikip entry.
genial
Great pianoplaying with the same light touch as Teddy Wilson
A Great - conceited perhaps but he had plenty to be conceited about. A privilege to have seen & heard him several times
+John Whitehead Earl Hines conceited? Have you seen Hines in the wonderful Earl 'Fatha' Hines 1 hr docu on Vimeo? Have a look - and come back & say 'conceited' again. I don't think you will!
+John Whitehead a lot of people think that about him due to his smiling . It seems to come across as arrogant to some but he was really humble and he smiled because he was making mistakes as well as genuinely enjoyed playing. But you are one lucky man to have heard him in person!
+John Whitehead. Your comment is totally uncalled for and unnecessary.
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.
Jaki Byard is another
Yes
I'm also from Gurgalatte.
Greets!
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.
Браво!
Sounds similar to my Grandmother {Stenis O'Lavski}, colleague of Mr. Hines.
I agree! Today's music is just so much noise. I can't even stand TV commercials. All people want to listen to today is loud, confusing, an frenetic crap.Thank goodness for the mute button! Louis lives. Bix lives! Benny lives. They are all on my computer and on my CDs.
I like this music.
Maestro
Saw him in Sao Paulo in the 1970's in a tour with Oscar Peterson. Truly amazing!
what a combination of pianists to see together 🤯
I have and from that you can see what kind of man Earl was and why I said what I said about him in my remarks. He was a great guy. alois140. Thanks for the link.
2:40 -- Whoa. Suddenly ... Blue Mommah. came out of nowhere but I had to utter a 'uh- yeah'
