Earl Hines

Schools need teachers. Traditions require rules. Movements need leaders - someone has to first say, “Follow me. Here’s how it’s done.” There are only a few names in jazz we can count among those teachers. The true originals. One the most important is Earl Hines. And in this new  Mosaic collection, you will find his rules. For the first time ever, you can own a set that brings together his important work as a leader and soloist spanning 1928 to 1945.

This unprecedented collection draws from all the important labels that recorded him - OKeh, Victor, Brunswick, Vocalion, Bluebird and ignature, and includes 171 tracks on seven CDs, remastered from the original metal parts and test pressings housed in the Sony archive. Rare photos from the collection of Stanley Dance and an essay by Brian Priestley are featured in the patented Mosaic booklet, along with a discography that corrects time worn errors. This collection features a wealth of Hines solos on ensemble selections, as well as over a dozen piano solo  recordings. Included are “Rosetta”, “A Monday Date” , “Melancholy Baby” and more.
