Dick Hyman • The Way You Look Tonight

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. ~by 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. ~por Scott Yanow
