Biography
by Wade Kergan
While vibist Dick Sisto has been compared to both Gary Burton and Milt Jackson, his own lyrical style manages to synthesize both without ever succumbing to imitation. Sisto began playing vibes in grade school and continued studying through college, eventually playing in groups that included future luminaries Maurice White and David Sanborn. After relocating to California in the early '70s, Sisto became involved in a number of projects, both within and outside of traditional jazz contexts, from backing Swami Kriyananda and poet Gary Snyder to participating in Thomas Buckner's Ghost Opera Company. Eventually establishing a base in the Midwest, Sisto added teaching to his resumé with a three-year stint at the Univeristy of Kentuky, followed by numerous clinics and educational concerts. All of this has coincided with international touring and recordings with, among others, Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner, and Barry Ries.

Biografía
por Wade Kergan
Aunque el vibráfono Dick Sisto ha sido comparado tanto con Gary Burton como con Milt Jackson, su propio estilo lírico consigue sintetizar a ambos sin sucumbir nunca a la imitación. Sisto empezó a tocar el vibráfono en la escuela primaria y siguió estudiando hasta la universidad, llegando a tocar en grupos que incluían a futuras luminarias como Maurice White y David Sanborn. Tras trasladarse a California a principios de los 70, Sisto se involucró en varios proyectos, tanto dentro como fuera de los contextos tradicionales del jazz, desde acompañar a Swami Kriyananda y al poeta Gary Snyder hasta participar en la Ghost Opera Company de Thomas Buckner. Tras establecerse en el Medio Oeste, Sisto añadió la docencia a su currículum con una estancia de tres años en la Universidad de Kentucky, a la que siguieron numerosos cursos y conciertos didácticos. Todo ello ha coincidido con giras internacionales y grabaciones con, entre otros, Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner y Barry Ries.
