Earl Hines remains one of the most legendary performers in Jazz history.

This double LP is valuable as documentation of Earl Hines and his band on a typical gig in 1973. Marva Josie has a few vocals and Tiny Grimes contributes some guitar solos but the leader/pianist is easily the main star, romping on such tunes as ”Perdido,” ”Boogie Woogie on the St. Louis Blues” and ”Lester Leaps In.” Swinging (if not essential) music.
