I was lucky enough to see Earl Hines playing solo in a jazz club in Hampstead, London c.1965. He didn't need bass and drums. A privilege really being able to listen to people like that performing live.

My friends Dad, Aaron Sachs played saxophone and clarinet for Hines and his mum was Helen Merrill who sang with the band

I love ALL types of music! Hip Hop, R&B, Jazz, Gospel, Blues, Some Rock, Some Country, and Funk. I really am getting into music from the old, old days like Earl Hines, Art Tatum, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, etc. I just consider myself versatile. I will give any type of music a try if it sounds good.

Dang ! Don't get much better than this ! Feel like I've died and gone to boogie woogie heaven ! THANKS so much, Mr Gibbons, for sharing with us ! You clearly have xlnt taste in music ! CHEERS, mate ! :-)

I only knew the band version. Thank you a thousand times for uploading! This is something like Ravel's 'La Valse': The boogie to end all boogies.

He WAS the link between ragtime piano and jazz piano.

I love Oscar Peterson, but Fatha Hines had the greatest left hand I've ever heard.

Earl Hines is my favorite jazz pianist but frankly speaking I don't like this version of boogie- woogie
