Generations of Jazz: Dick Hyman
and La Lucha featuring Jun Bustamante
Presented by the Palladium
Hough Hall
Saturday, Nov. 15, 8p
An unforgettable evening of jazz pairing the piano jazz legend with the next generation of great jazz players!
Dick Hyman - Throughout a busy musical career that got underway in the early '50s,
Dick Hyman has functioned as pianist, organist, arranger, music director, and composer. His versatility in all of these areas has resulted in a long career involving film scores, orchestral compositions, concert appearances and well over 100 albums recorded under his own name. While developing a masterful facility for improvisation in his own piano style,
Mr. Hyman has also investigated ragtime and the earliest periods of jazz and has researched and recorded the piano music of
Scott Joplin,
Jelly Roll Morton,
James P. Johnson, Zez Confrey,
Eubie Blake and Fats Waller, which he often features in his performances. Other solo recordings include the music of
Irving Berlin,
Harold Arlen,
Cole Porter,
George Gershwin,
Richard Rodgers and
Duke Ellington. Some of his past recordings with combos are From The Age Of Swing, Swing Is Here, Cheek To Cheek, and If Bix Played Gershwin, plus numerous duet albums with cornetist
Ruby Braff, and fellow pianists including Ralph Sutton, Shelly Berg,
Derek Smith. In a very different vein,
Mr. Hyman was one of the first to record on the Moog synthesizer, and his Minotaur landed on the Billboard charts.
Dick Hyman's Century Of Jazz Piano, an encyclopedic series of solo performances, has been released on Arbors Records, while a transcription is published by Hal Leonard Music. Other newer recordings are with clarinetist Ken Peplowski, singer Heather Masse, and
Mr. Hyman's daughter, violinist Judy Hyman.
La Lucha with Jun Bustamante - The popular Tampa Bay jazz artists are beginning to break nationally, and Palladium regulars, we are fortunate for their return, fronted by the fabulous singer-songwriter and vocalist Jun Bustamante. La Lucha consists of three best friends from Colombia, Mexico & United States who play Latin-inspired rhythms and original compositions -- a diverse mix of jazz standards and signature arrangements of works across decades and genres.
