MASTERS OF JAZZ is a reliable compilation series providing artistic and historical overviews of major jazz artists. The Earl Hines entry in the series is no exception. At 13 tracks, the listener gets a delightful crash course in Hines, from his rousing interpretations of W.C. Handy ("Boogie Woogie on St. Louis Blues") to his own sterling originals ("Rosetta"). Hines's swinging, hugely influential piano style, which blends stride patterns with a distinctly modern sense of time and accent, is showcased on every cut.
