Our Take

My dear readers, brace yourselves for a musical journey like no other, as the legendary Earl Hines pays tribute to the iconic Louis Armstrong in his latest album "My Tribute To Louis: Piano Solos By Earl Hines."

From the moment you press play, Hines effortlessly transports you to a bygone era of jazz greatness, with each note cascading like a waterfall of pure genius. His mastery of the piano is truly unparalleled, as he navigates the keys with the finesse of a seasoned maestro.

Tracks like "West End Blues" and "Basin Street Blues" showcase Hines' ability to breathe new life into classic favourites, while originals like "Hines' Boogie Woogie" demonstrate his innovation and creativity. It's like watching a musical tightrope walker gracefully tiptoe across the keys, never missing a beat.

But what truly sets this album apart is Hines' infectious energy and charisma, which shines through in every note. You can almost picture him hunched over the piano, a mischievous twinkle in his eye, as he effortlessly dazzles listeners with his virtuosity.

So grab yourself a bourbon on the rocks, dim the lights, and let Earl Hines serenade you with his magical tribute to Louis Armstrong. You won't be disappointed. This album is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to be swept away by the enchanting melodies of a true master. Cheers to you, Earl Hines, for keeping the spirit of jazz alive and kicking. 10/10.
