Richard "Dick" Hyman (born March 8, 1927, New York City) is an American
jazz pianist/keyboardist and composer, best known for his versatility
with jazz piano styles. Over a 50-year career, he has functioned as a
pianist, organist, arranger, music director, and, increasingly, as a
composer. His versatility in all of these areas has resulted in well
over 100 albums recorded under his own name and many more in support of
other artists.
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

Richard "Dick" Hyman (nacido el 8 de marzo de 1927 en la ciudad de Nueva
York) es un pianista, tecladista y compositor de jazz estadounidense,
mejor conocido por su versatilidad con los estilos de piano de jazz. A
lo largo de 50 años de carrera, se ha desempeñado como pianista,
organista, arreglista, director musical y, cada vez más, como
compositor. Su versatilidad en todas estas áreas ha resultado en más de
100 álbumes grabados bajo su propio nombre y muchos más en apoyo de
otros artistas.
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

thank for the original uploader
The first eight cuts of this 2015 release are taken directly from the 1954 LP "The Dick Hyman Trio Swings", the same order, and don't seem to be remastered at all. They sound identical to the original. The last three cuts are taken randomly from records Hyman made in the '90s. Why do people bother to reissue collectible material and then waste it by passing it off as new, with a ridiculously irrelevant cover that says "Please don't buy me"?
