Biography by Scott Yanow
A very versatile virtuoso, Dick Hyman once recorded an album on which he
played "A Child Is Born" in the styles of 11 different pianists, from
Scott Joplin to Cecil Taylor. Hyman can clearly play anything he wants
to, and since the '70s, he has mostly concentrated on pre-bop swing and
stride styles. Hyman worked with Red Norvo (1949-1950) and Benny Goodman
(1950), and then spent much of the 1950s and '60s as a studio musician.
He appears on the one known sound film of Charlie Parker (Hot House
from 1952); recorded honky tonk under pseudonyms; played organ and early
synthesizers in addition to piano; was Arthur Godfrey's music director
(1959-1962); collaborated with Leonard Feather on some History of Jazz
concerts (doubling on clarinet), and even performed rock and free jazz;
but all of this was a prelude to his later work. In the 1970s, Hyman
played with the New York Jazz Repertory Company, formed the Perfect Jazz
Repertory Quintet (1976), and started writing soundtracks for Woody
Allen films. He has recorded frequently during the past several decades
(sometimes in duets with Ruby Braff) for Concord, Music Masters, and
Reference, among other labels, and ranks at the top of the classic jazz
field. In 2013, Hyman teamed up with vocalist Heather Masse for a set of
standards on the Red House label called Lock My Heart.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Un virtuoso muy versátil, Dick Hyman grabó una vez un álbum en el que
tocó "A Child Is Born" en los estilos de 11 pianistas diferentes, desde
Scott Joplin hasta Cecil Taylor. Hyman puede claramente tocar lo que
quiera, y desde los años 70, se ha concentrado sobre todo en los estilos
de swing pre-bop y stride. Hyman trabajó con Red Norvo (1949-1950) y
Benny Goodman (1950), y luego pasó gran parte de los años 50 y 60 como
músico de estudio. Aparece en la única película sonora conocida de
Charlie Parker (Hot House de 1952); grabó honky tonk bajo seudónimos;
tocó el órgano y los primeros sintetizadores además del piano; fue el
director musical de Arthur Godfrey (1959-1962); colaboró con Leonard
Feather en algunos conciertos de Historia del Jazz (doblando en el
clarinete), e incluso interpretó rock y free jazz; pero todo esto fue un
preludio de su trabajo posterior. En la década de 1970, Hyman tocó con
la New York Jazz Repertory Company, formó el Quinteto de Repertorio de
Jazz Perfecto (1976), y comenzó a escribir bandas sonoras para películas
de Woody Allen. Ha grabado frecuentemente durante las últimas décadas
(a veces en dúos con Ruby Braff) para Concord, Music Masters y
Reference, entre otros sellos, y está en la cima del campo del jazz
clásico. En 2013, Hyman se asoció con la vocalista Heather Masse para un
conjunto de estándares en el sello Red House llamado Lock My Heart.
