Jazz Legends

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Earl Hines. This week the spotlight falls on pianist and bandleader Earl "Fatha" Hines, who rose to fame in the twenties alongside the great Louis Armstrong. Hines's ever-evolving piano style paved the way for modern jazz pianists such as Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk. Julian Joseph presents classic recordings and excerpts from a 1975 interview in which Hines recalls his eventful ten-year residency at the Grand Terrace Ballroom in Chicago.
