Justin V Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I haven't heard any of his leader dates, but I'm always impressed by the elegance and clarity of his playing when I hear one of his sideman appearances. Here's wishing him a happy birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) I have these two and both are excellent IMO. Of course, there are many more Wyands dates as both leader and sideman. Here's one of his sideman dates I especially enjoy. Happy 85th Birthday, Richard Wyands. Edited July 2, 2013 by John Tapscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have these two and both are excellent IMO. I'll second both recommendations. Let's not forget his fine contributions to Gigi Gryce's early 60's releases. All worth owning, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Happy Birthday! Always liked his playing, a solid, reliable and always gratifying soloist, from early on in his career. The earliest I know are some Cal Tjader sessions in California on Savoy and Fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Friedman Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Happy Birthday Richard Wyands. One of the better jazz jazz pianos players still on the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstrack Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I haven't heard any of his leader dates, but I'm always impressed by the elegance and clarity of his playing when I hear one of his sideman appearances. Here's wishing him a happy birthday. I almost missed this. I've worked with Richard and he is not only an exemplar of taste, listening, and swing but a gentleman all the way. To one of the best accompanists in the business and a great soloist IMO happy 85th, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
