Earl Hines • Earl Hines Plays Cole Porter

 




Review by Scott Yanow
This CD reissue of an Earl Hines solo piano session originally made for the Australian Swaggie label is a bit unusual. Hines had apparently not played any of the seven songs (which include such standards as "Night And Day," "What Is This Thing Called Love" and "I Get A Kick Out Of You") previously, nor would they enter his repertoire after the session. No matter, Hines interprets the compositions as if he had been familiar with them for decades. His chancetaking improvisations have their hair raising moments (particularly when he suspends time) and are quite exciting. A superb effort by the immortal pianist who at 71 still seemed to be improving.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta reedición en CD de una sesión de piano solo de Earl Hines realizada originalmente para el sello australiano Swaggie es un tanto inusual. Aparentemente, Hines no había tocado ninguna de las siete canciones (que incluyen estándares como "Night And Day", "What Is This Thing Called Love" y "I Get A Kick Out Of You") anteriormente, ni entrarían en su repertorio después de la sesión. No importa, Hines interpreta las composiciones como si las conociera desde hace décadas. Sus improvisaciones arriesgadas tienen sus momentos espeluznantes (sobre todo cuando suspende el tiempo) y son bastante emocionantes. Un esfuerzo soberbio de este pianista inmortal que, a sus 71 años, parece seguir mejorando.
