REFERENCE RECORDINGS RR-33 DICK HYMAN PLAYS Fats Waller LP
Out of print for over 20 years!!! Solo performer: Dick Hyman (piano).
Recorded at Evan Williams Recording Studios, Santa Ana, California on August 13, 1989. Includes liner notes by Dick Hyman."A Professor Johnson Pure Analogue Recording"
Hyman performed 15 Fats Waller songs on the Bosendorfer 2905E reproducing piano in New York. But more important than the technology involved is the music itself. Sometimes Hyman seems to take these pieces a little too seriously, treating "African Ripples" and "Viper's Drag" as if they were classical music but, to his credit, his treatment of the Waller compositions (mixing in the familiar with obscurities such as an enthusiastic "I'm Goin' To See My Ma" and a very complex version of "Bach Up To Me") does not attempt to copy Fats' style. A surprisingly uptempo version of "Stealin' Apples" and a thoughtful rendition of "Ain't Misbehavin'" are among the highpoints. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
