O’s Notes: Widely acclaimed pianist and educator Steven Harlos takes on The Piano Music of Dick Hyman, the legendary veteran who gets to marvel at the interpretations of three of his compositions. Most notable is “Piano Man” typically performed by Hyman as a 32-minute composition but broken into 24 pieces by Harlos. The brilliance in this piece is Hyman‘s interpretation of many great pianists before him. Harlos takes that to another level by gently massaging Hyman’s original. This solo effort illustrates many different jazz styles and combines elements of two talented pianists.
