Jazz Live in Italy: Earl Hines Piano solo Concert in Scandiano 1966

After some months I'm back with a rare, old LP of piano solo by the "piano giant" Earl "Fatha" Hines (1903-1983).

At the beginning of the 1966 Hines was in Italy for about more than one month, playing in a night club in Rome, after he went in Milan for some other dates. On the road he stopped in Scandiano, a little town near Reggio Emilia, where he performed a beautiful concert.
That concert was published in LP some years after (I bought it about 40 years ago) and never reissued in CD.
