Performer Notes:

  • This LP and Hep 1018 have all of the recordings of Earl Hines's 1932-33 orchestra (including the many alternate takes). This often overlooked big band featured strong and swinging arrangements (particularly those of Jimmy Mundy) along with fine solos from trumpeter Walter Fuller, trombonist Trummy Young (who joined in mid-1933) and the reeds of Omer Simeon, Cecil Irwin and Darnell Howard. Both of these LPs are well worth searching out, for they offer fine examples of early swing and the sparkling virtuosity of Hines's piano. ~ Scott Yanow
