Re: Earl Hines Recommendations
Hey everyone, I've recently been getting into Earl Hines' material (great stuff) - well, at least the ones that aren't really scratchy or poor quality. I was wondering anyone if knew of some good (social dancing) Earl Hines tunes? Some of my favorites at the moment are: Rhythm Sundae, Up Jumped the...

Yeah it's pretty much only available on those Classics, which are not known for quality of sound. I was pining on twitter for a Willie Bryant remaster project, but he recorded so little, that it's most likely to be part of a retrospective of one of his musicians (if such a fantasy project were to a...

Re: Help with an ID, Thanks in advance
I just saw this video of Ksenia Parkhatskaya and Max Pitruzzella dancing and liked the music playing, but I have no idea who it is by or what the name of the song is. Any ideas? Thanks for the help! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xew9hrzPMP8&feature=g-hist Like it … I don't know the music, but ...

Rumour has it that a 1928-1946 Earl Hines set will be announced soon. I'm super excited about this as I have be pestering them with this suggestion for about 5 years. Finally some 30s Earl in (hopefully) decent fidelity! Earl Hines recorded some great numbers around c1939-1941. Like a big band vers...
