Earl Hines's solo piano sessions were always a joy. Freed from having to keep a steady rhythm to accommodate a bassist and a drummer, Hines was able to take wild chances with time, with his left hand playing broken patterns rather than sticking to a steady stride. [This Black Lion CD augments the eight selections originally released on an LP with two alternate takes and "Black Lion Blues.."] Hines made many exciting recordings during 1964-77; this set is a good place to start in exploring his frequently dazzling playing. ~ Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/blues-in-thirds-mw0000269040
