I'm seeking an tune by Earl Hines.

This search is very difficult because I don't remember
the title. Maybe it has the words "blues" and/or
"devil".

I've registered that tunemany years ago
on a tape, but the tape is cancelled today.

I sure was Earl Hines.

sure is an jazz-blues.



the time when it was recorded, I think, is the 50s

very important, there was an interval
with a solo of double bass played with bow
(played like an cello...)



Ah, I think it's Earl Hines, but I'm not very sure...
after all this year, but sure is a piano style like Earl.

Thanks in advance!

You don't make it easy, do you?

Earl Hines did several songs with the word blues in the title. So that didn't help really. He actually did a quite famous song with the word devil in it (up jumped the devil) but that's more an uptempo and not a bluestune...

he also did a song Between The Devil And The Deep Blues Sea...that sounds familiar to you?

A solo double bass isn't very rare so...I don't know this is the one...anybody else has a suggestion?

Hmmm... I have various versions
of "Between the Devil", not of Earl Hines
but I think that isn't it because is pretty swinging
like theme.

The tune that I remember is more similar
to "St. James infirmary", just in the version
of Earl Hines... like tempo and sound.

Very heavy and sad.

But with a solo of double bass played
with bow.

For this particular, the bow, I think the tune
is by the 50s, or later.

Yes Dan, I like difficult things!

I'm searching for a song called "The Boy With The Wistful Eyes". Anyone here have it?
