Recorded: Oct 29, 1973
Dick Hyman - Piano
* Bill Borden - Liner Notes, Producer
* Fred Christie - Engineer
During his long career, Dick Hyman has recorded a number of albums of solo piano; this one is among his best. Mixing jazz standards with music from the stage and pop tunes, he comes up with innovative approaches to each selection. Of particular interest is the unusually upbeat arrangement of Billie Holiday 's "God Bless the Child," the driving take of the often very dull pop ballad "The Look of Love," and a lush treatment of "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof . Unfortunately, this LP has long been unavailable since the demise of Monmouth Evergreen , but there is some likelihood that it will reappear in the catalog of George Buck 's Collector's Record Club , because he acquired the entire label's library during the 1990s. Highly recommended.

Dick Hyman
Active Decades: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Mar 08, 1927 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Swing, Stride, Classic Jazz, Standards, Lounge, Spy Music
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.
