Though known for his jumpy idiosyncrasies on the piano, jazz legend Earl Hines could just as easily tap a slower, more nuanced side. Observe his lazy pace and understated manner on “West End Blues”, a cut led by frequent collaborator Louis Armstrong, and his amiable melodies for Jimmie Noone's “Sweet Lorraine”. That said, his own “Fatha's Blues” proceeds from contemplative to freewheeling and joyously upbeat.
