Biography

American jazz pianist, bandleader and composer Born December 28, 1903, Duquesne, Pennsylvania, USA Died April 22, 1983, Oakland, California, USA. Performed with [a38201] in the late 1920s developing his so called "trumpet style" (right-hand octaves accompanied by chords with his left). Still based in Chicago during the 1930s and 1940s, his big band introduced the singers [a311744] and [a8284] and featured trumpeter [a64694] and the saxophonist [a75617]. In Armstrong's All Stars from 1948 to 1951, although a period followed in relative obscurity with the pianist leading West Coast Dixieland groups during the 1950s, but Hines' career revived with a 1964 booking at Manhattan's Little Theatre and the renewed interest led to many new recordings. Commonly known as Earl "Fatha" Hines.
