Influential jazz pianist Earl Hines is in top form on this brilliant solo set, recorded in November of 1972 in New York City. The recording finds Hines near the peak of his creativity, taking wild chances with time and coming up with fresh new variations on these veteran standards.

Now it’s sounding better than ever on this audiophile-grade reissue, which was mastered from original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman and pressed on 180 gram vinyl at Pallas in Germany.
