EPISODE591 - Jazz Inspired - Dick Hyman

Pianist/composer Dick Hyman has enjoyed a fascinatingly diverse musical career, recording under his own name, collaborating with others, acting as musical director for movies and television and playing concerts. Dick has an unusually astute understanding of jazz history and the stylistic elements that distinguish the piano giants who created this music. Dick shared his thoughts on these players and how theyâ??ve influenced his own creativity when I recorded this coversation in 2006.
