Earl Hines is another pianist who doesn't move that much. The first 
couple of his records I bought were his Felsted session of 1958, which I 
thought was excellent. Next were his OK piano solos, which were fine. 
Nothing after that appealed to me. His work on the Cozy Cole and Charlie 
Shavers Keynotes show him to be floundering badly, whilst trying to 
sound clever. I also find that there is no emotional feel to his playing.
