Info about Earl Hines:
Earl “Fatha” Hines was one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. Frequently he would play ringing octaves with his right hand (called “trumpet style piano”) that allowed him to be heard over the loudest ensembles. Dubbed by some as “the first modern jazz pianist,” Hines could play stride piano with the best, keeping time with his left hand by jumping between bass notes and chords, but he also loved to challenge himself by taking death-defying breaks.
Led by what could be considered the trickiest left hand in jazz, he often defied time and played wild passages with his two hands before somehow returning without missing a beat. This sounded very modern in 1928 and was still a bit futuristic in 1978. Among his many admirers were Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, and Art Tatum.
Earl Hines had a long and episodic career. He was born December 28, 1903 in Duquesne, Pennsylvania, which is close to Pittsburgh. Since his father played cornet with a local brass band, that became Hines’ first instrument before he switched his focus to the piano when he was nine. He took some classical piano lessons and played organ in his Baptist church while largely creating his own style.
