I have recently completed a list of new BluesTone 88-note ragtime
and blues recuts. If anyone is interested, please drop me an email
and I'll send you details or mail you a print copy. Thank you for
allowing me this opportunity for shameless self-promotion!
I have also put together a brief homage to one of my favorite early
jazz pianists, Earl Hines. Look in my BluesTone "links" page, which
includes a list of his early solo piano recordings, his four QRS
"Celebrity Series" rolls made in the 1970's, and images of Hines from
my collection. I hope this is of interest to someone, and that you'll
take a listen to those recordings.
Hines was an incredible talent. It's too bad he didn't make rolls
back in the 1920's. I guess he was already running with a fast crowd
by then.
