Earl "Fatha" Hines - Piano
Red Callender - Bass
Bill Douglas - Drums
This CD reissues one of pianist Earl Hines's last recordings, a
Direct to Disc album done originally for RealTime and formerly
titled Hits I've Missed. Hines (with backup from bassist Red
Callender and drummer Bill Douglass) performs nine songs, some
of which were more familiar than others. Certainly Hines was
well acquainted with Fats Waller's "Squeeze Me" and "Ain't
Misbehavin, '" Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady" and James
P. Johnson's "Old Fashioned Love" but he had never recorded
"Misty," Horace Silver's "The Preacher" or "Blue Monk" before.
The real wild card track was his rendition of "Birdland," with
Red Callender switching to tuba. This interesting CD
(well-played but not really essential) adds alternate versions
of "Birdland" and "Blue Monk" to the original program.
