His rhythm is so perfect. I sounds like it's going somewhere out of control, but he ties it together and keeps a steadfast rhythm, and it quickly becomes apparent what he was doing.

This is my first time listening to Earl Hines. My brain couldn't really process the complexity of the first song, so I immediately went back and listened again several times. My impression is that this is a demonstration of human creativity at its highest level. The melody switches between hands and ventures off into several variations, changing harmonies and meters while still maintaining structure. I would love to be inside his mind for a minute when he's playing this song and seeing this music unfold... unreal.

This gentleman started JAZZ piano - in contrast to ragtime or blues piano - in the mid-1920ies (Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, J.P. Johnson, Willie The Lion Smith, and Duke Ellington played something like modernized rag piano at this time). And in the seventies, he still sounded fresh and original. It's not by chance, that he is called "Fatha". HE WAS THE VERY FIRST:

There's great music we can appreciate and music we can even play. There's music we can barely grasp, and then.....there's THIS!!! The man who revolutionalized Jazz alongside Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Art Tatum. A combination of Franz Liszt, Scott Joplin a ton of imagination, creativity and ectasy. One of the best music performances I've ever seen. I knew he was an important figure in the history of Jazz forever, but I didn't understand really.

Saw him at the Stern Grove Festival one summer in San Francisco in the early '70's. He lived in Oakland, Ca. so it was no big deal for him to hop over the Bay for a day in the park. We were gobsmacked, as the Brits like to say. That old man, along with his sidemen, tore the joint up. He was so much fun, I'll never forget it.

Descendants of Earl "Fatha" Hines; Earl was the best, and yes he could've played bebop style, cool, post bop and on. Remember Earl is the father of what came afterwards him on jazz piano. We can include descendants of his original style like past great artist Art Tatum and Errol Garner, but Earl "fatha" Hines is the forefather of piano jazz; bet we'd recognize each other at the first train stop in heaven.

What drives me mad is that there is a bunch of great unissued music from this concert. A that time, Earl was always playing the same thing (program) each time in a much different way. He was one of the very few true improvisor. I was lucky to spoke to him and I asked him a question : "what would you recommend me to learn improvising solos". His answer was one of the most amazing I have ever heard.

He's mostly improvising, like most jazz musicians do (Hines himself was probably the most influential jazz pianist of the 1920s and 30s), but he's basing those improvisations off a variety of precomposed songs, again, like most jazz musicians. The songs he's playing off of in this particular video include: Antonio Carlos Jobim's "The Girl from Ipanema", Burt Bacharach's "Close to You", and a bunch of melodies from Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story". I should note that, Earl Hines being one of jazz's greatest improvisers, the originals are very different in character from Hines's take on them.
