Earl Hines Plays Cole Porter is a solo album by pianist Earl Hines performing compositions by Cole Porter which was originally released as an LP on the Australian Swaggie label and rereleased on the New World label on CD in 1996.[1] [2]
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow commented: "Hines interprets the compositions as if he had been familiar with them for decades. His chancetaking improvisations have their hair raising moments (particularly when he suspends time) and are quite exciting. A superb effort by the immortal pianist who at 71 still seemed to be improving".
All compositions by Cole Porter.
