The Dick Hyman Trio • Swingin' Double Date



This unusual album from the 1950s features Dick Hyman in two separate settings. Joined by bassist Eddie Safranski and drummer Don Lamond during both sessions, he sticks to piano on one side and organ on the other, though the record label labeled the piano tracks as organ (and vice versa). The organ tracks are less interesting, because Hyman is stuck playing an instrument that sounds more like the low-quality models sold in suburban malls during the 1960s. As a result, standards like "The Way You Look Tonight" and "If I Had You" lean more toward easy listening than jazz. The piano tracks are another story. Following the brisk original "Marv," Hyman delves into Duke Ellington's unjustly neglected ballad "All Too Soon," a crisp take of "Topsy," and Ralph Burns' gem written with Woody Herman, "Early Autumn." Long out of print, this Lion LP will be tough to locate.

Este álbum inusual de la década de 1950 presenta a Dick Hyman en dos configuraciones separadas. Acompañado por el bajista Eddie Safranski y el baterista Don Lamond durante ambas sesiones, se pega al piano en un lado y al órgano en el otro, aunque el sello discográfico etiquetó las pistas de piano como órgano (y viceversa). Las pistas de órgano son menos interesantes, porque Hyman está atrapado tocando un instrumento que suena más como los modelos de baja calidad que se venden en los centros comerciales suburbanos durante los años sesenta. Como resultado, estándares como "The Way You Look Tonight" y "If I If You You" se inclinan más hacia la escucha fácil que hacia el jazz. Las pistas de piano son otra historia. Siguiendo el enérgico y original "Marv", Hyman se adentra en la balada injustamente olvidada de Duke Ellington, "All Too Soon", una crujiente toma de "Topsy" y la gema de Ralph Burns escrita con Woody Herman, "Early Autumn". Una vez agotado, este LP de Lion será difícil de localizar.
