Though Earl Hines's greatest fame resides in his solo piano and small-group recordings, both from the 1920s and the 1970s, he also led one of the most durable big bands in jazz history, extending from 1928 to 1948 and happily resident for long periods at Chicago's Grand Terrace Ballroom. The material here comes from a particularly good period in the band's history, when it was a hard-swinging outfit with lively arrangements and excellent soloists in trombonist Trummy Young and clarinetist Omer Simeon. Budd Johnson was a key factor in the band, both as saxophone soloist and as arranger. His "XYZ" develops tremendous momentum, while his arrangement of Hines's "Piano Man" is a fine setting for the leader's flamboyant piano. Also included in this comprehensive view of the period are two wonderful piano solos, four-minute takes of "The Father's Getaway" and "Reminiscing at Blue Note" that show Hines at his inventive and kinetic best. --Stuart Broomer
