Dick Hyman 95th Birthday Salute


Recommended Posts

I've got them but opted for acoustic piano, except for a couple of theatre organ pieces.

I've got a lot of LPs that haven't been reissued on CD that I would have to digitize in order to share them on air. Maybe I'll acquire a second turntable for that purpose, because making CDRs for broadcast from LPs is a bit time-consuming and wasteful.

In the mid-1990s, Ms. TTK interviewed Dick Hyman for NPR.  It was a pretty balanced piece, in terms of jazz, Woody Allen, and session work. At one point, she brought up the Moog albums and shared that these LPs had found a new audience. He kind of laughed it off in the interview, and they moved onto the next topic. By the late 1990s, the space-age-bachelor-pad thing was in full swing, and Hyman fully embraced those albums at that time. Ms. TTK was a few years ahead of the curve. We digitized the interview, and I must have it here someplace.

I think I did my first phone interview around 1990, but I am unsure if I dubbed it to cassette before editing portions into my show. I finally realized it was better to save an unedited master for myself. I told Dick Hyman about some CD reissues of things he had recorded under a pseudonym and he bought copies for his library.

In his first appearance on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz, Hyman described how he decided to push two buttons together on the keyboard, creating a bossa nova waltz on one of his Moog albums. Maybe I need to upload that broadcast.

Thanks! The implications of that resume imply a world of experience. Percussionists are often way ahead of everybody else's curved, at least in my experience!
