l p Posted 9 hours ago Report Posted 9 hours ago (edited) video 'Earl Hines & His All Stars - 1965' Paris Jazz Festival 1965 Ben Webster Don Byas Jimmy Woode Stuff Smith Roy Eldridge Kenny Clarke at 24:30 through 32:03 = 7.5 minutes. i can see why sax players would do this when circular breathing, but it seems weird on a piano. i know hines did this for 2-3 minutes on st. louis blues when he was in louis armstrong's group in the 40's. after a few minutes, it does become less of an indurance test, and more of 'it's fine, just fine'.

JSngry Posted 8 hours ago Report Posted 8 hours ago That should be a permanent installation in all the "jazz programs" in the world, have a holographic Earl Hines doing that and then throw all the happy boys and girls what have been studying their books so hard but have never even heard of Earl Hines up there in it and tell them YOU GOT IT!!! Pop Quiz, motherfuckers! Quote
