knowing the "later in life" relationships for these two makes this image a hoot.

Lately, I've been focused on Earl Hines' solo playing -- but tonight I decided to dip into his big band music:

Earl Hines & His Orchestra - The Father Jumps (RCA Bluebird)
LPs 1 & 2

[HutchFan]

Earl Hines - Live at the Village Vanguard (Columbia)
Recorded in 1965, but -- strangely -- not released until 1988.

Hutchfan, have you heard 'Here Comes Earl "Fatha" Hines', a trio recording with Elvin Jones and Richard Davis? I really like it but i haven't heard enough Hines to know whether it's a 'good Hines album' if you know what i mean. Cheers.
