Talk:Once Upon a Time (Earl Hines album)

Review
There's quite a good re-issue review here that says:
 * "Pee Wee Russell steps in for “The Blues In My Flat,” which also features an effective vocal delivery by Ray Nance. After being an artist for so long, it’s refreshing to see one of the old masters at the top of his game so late in his career. A welcome reissue, especially for those who are eager to see assorted Ellington sidemen strut their stuff."

Also one here, which says:
 * "Everyone has his moment on what is essentially a blowing session. Brown brays and moans on “Black and Tan Fantasy,” and drummer Sonny Greer is positively slammin’ on “Cottontail.” Nance sings about a woman “who don’t need no hair at all” on Lionel Hampton’s “The Blues in My Flat,” and Hines plays a hip two choruses on his own “You Can Depend On Me” before giving way to Russell’s delightfully spasmodic clarinet solo. The most incredible moment may well belong to Terry, whose pocket trumpet solo with plunger on the title track is brash, playful and ultimately stunning. He starts his solo with clipped swinging phrases, follows it with perfectly placed repeated notes that end with a shake instead of a vibrato and then caps it up on the high wire with a tricky figure I had to listen to three times before I could figure out what he did. This guy coulda been a Wallenda!"

Maybe these could be added? Perhaps an audio clip from the title track would be better? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:23, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
