Lois Deppe & Earl Hines	Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child	Black & White Piano	Document	rec 1923 this is one of Hines' first recordings.

Louis Armstrong & His Savoy Ballroom Five	A Monday Date	Hot Fives & Sevens	JSP	rec 1928. in 1928 Lil Hardin Armstrong left the Hot Five & was replaced by Earl Hines.

Hines wrote this piece
Louis Armstrong & His Savoy Ballroom Five	West End Blues	Hot Fives & Sevens	JSP	rec 1928 one of Armstrong's greatest recordings of the era and Hines's piano was instrumental to the piece. Armstrong and Hines were close friends, they owned a car together
Louis Armstrong & Earl Hines	Weather Bird	Hot Fives & Sevens	JSP	rec 1928 Hines developed his style of playing solo lines in octaves, so he could be heard of the over the horns. He called it "trumpet style" and Armstrong was reportedly impressed that he could make a piano sound like that

Earl Hines	Caution Blues	Classic Earl Hines Sessions 1928-1945	Mosaic	rec 1928 Hines didn't record many solo piano pieces, until very late in his career he saw himself as a "band pianist." This one is a good example of his "trumpet style," the octaves with the right hand

Earl Hines	57 Varieties	Classic Earl Hines Sessions 1928-1945	Mosaic	rec 1928 another solo piano piece, this was written by Hines. The title is obviously a pun on the Heinz ketchup brand
