2003 studio album by John Hicks
Fatha's Day: An Earl Hines Songbook is an album by pianist John Hicks which was recorded in 2003 and released on the HighNote label.[ 1] The album features seven compositions written or recorded by Earl Hines and five by Hicks.
Allmusic reviewed the album stating "More than a few jazz musicians could learn how to make tribute CDs by listening gems such as this one by John Hicks".[ 2] JazzTimes said "Fatha's Day is completely worth celebrating".[ 3] All About Jazz observed "Hicks honors Hines without attempting to emulate the elder musician's famous "trumpet style" technique, instead finding inspiration in original compositions and other songs often performed by the Pittsburgh pianist".[ 4]
