And don't forget Hines's work with Armstrong during the same period:

December 4, 1928 - No (Papa, No) and Basin Street Blues

December 5, 1928 - No One Else But You, Beau Koo Jack, Save It Pretty Mama and Weather Bird

December 8, 1928 - Muggles

December 11, 1928 - Lillie Delk Christian session with Armstrong and Jimmie Noone - I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby, Sweethearts On Parade and I Must Have That Man

December 12, 1928 - Heah Me Talin' To Ya, St. James Infirmary, Tight Like This

Not a bad run, eh?

Hines recorded 8 nice sides for QRS a day earlier (12/08/28). Fatha was a Motha.

Hines revisited all 8 tunes from that session in an adventurous solo piano set for Chiaroscuro Records in 1970 in what is my all-time-favorite Fatha Hines session ("Quintessential", CR101). He admitted than he had all but forgotten a couple of the tunes by then, but managed to surpass the originals. Will these ever be issued on CD?

1. My Monday Date

2. Off Time Blues

3. Just Too Soon

4. Chimes In Blues

5. Chicago High Life

6. Blues In Thirds

7. Stowaway

8. Panther Rag
