About this album

Fatha & His Flock On Tour captures Earl Hines in vivid post-bop swing, balancing his graceful, percussive piano with the full-bodied sound of his Flock. Hines, one of jazz piano’s great innovators, had already helped shape the language of modern swing long before this album brought his seasoned bandstand authority to a wider audience. The set moves with easy assurance through standards and blues, highlighting his taste for rhythmic surprise, melodic invention and ensemble conversation. It stands as a fine example of Hines’s late-career leadership, showing why his playing remained a touchstone for generations of jazz musicians.
