Review
For the Quintessential date in 1970, Earl Hines was persuaded to revisit his first eight solo recordings from 1928. For this sequel (last available on LP), he re-recorded some other selections he had originally cut as solos in 1928 ("73 Varieties," which is a remake of "57 Varieties"), 1929 ("Glad Rag Doll"), and 1932 ("Down Among the Sheltering Palms" and "Love Me Tonight"). In addition, Hines performs two pieces his '30s big band used to play ("Deep Forest" and "Cavernism"), along with the more recent "Another Child." Perhaps it is the joy of rediscovering the older classics, but Hines was in particularly brilliant form for both of the Quintessential sessions; hopefully they will be reissued by Chiaroscuro on CD in the near future. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi| Quintessential Cleo (2001 Album by Cleo Laine) | |
