What a pianist/musician!.......2002-03-24

There is no need to say that Dick Hyman is an impeccable pre-bop piano player. His technique is flawless, his sense of voicing and arranging within a tune is masterful. He is widely respected among other jazz musicians, and rightly so. Furthermore, the Maybeck jazz series is one of the best series of jazz piano recordings made, if not the best. You should own every album in the series just because it is a Maybeck recording. However, that said, for jazz listening experience, Dick Hyman isn't my kind of jazz. He feels too much like he is playing ragtime through every piece. By this I mean his playing feels heavily arranged. It feels like he practiced much too much in his earlier days with the metronome. Where is the let loose careless devil-may-care attitude that marks the best of jazz solo playing? There needs to be the equivalent in pre-bop of what Bud Powell gave to bop -nervous passion and the push beyond the limits of technique. Hyman's technique drives his playing. It should be the other way around. Earl Hines had a fantastic technique, but there was no mistaken that it was in the service of the music he created, and, in this sense, Earl signaled what was to come. But even the great stride pianists had that intensity and let-loose quality. Hyman seems so controlled, so exact, so unexciting, because he always seems to know where he is going. This is mind over -- blood sense? I wish I liked him more because he is one hell of a pianist. For jazz listening, however, I would rather go to the real thing than the repertory of it. Many excellent and highly regarded jazz musicians have done more for musical education than for the music, which is saying a lot - I put Wynton Marsalis in this category as well as Dick Hyman. They have been central in acculturating jazz as repertory music --the latest, and I hope, not the last, form in which jazz gets known beyond the devotees. Ah, give me a little of the down-to-earth and blood-level swinging of Dave McKenna right now, if you know what I mean. McKenna did a Maybeck recording too, and so did Kenny Barron, Hank Jones, and Joanne Brackeen. Now that is my kind of jazz.

Master At Play..........2001-03-28

Concord's decision in the early '90's to record in recital a wide array of the world's greatest jazz pianists was one of the greatest gifts ever bestowed upon the American public. All were recorded in the same venue for virtually the same group of listeners over the course of a number of years, and the sum total is an historic document that will enlighten and enthrall music lovers for generations to come.

Of all of these great recordings, the most completely satisfying may be this performance by Dick Hyman, one of America's greatest musicians. Film composer, arranger, conductor, and historian of jazz and other forms of indigenous music, he is still most astonishing when seated at a keyboard and given the opportunity to "just play." Of course, he can't resist a "theme," and it's staggering to look at the list of great hit songs from 1937, all permanent standards in the repertoire.

Hyman is the rare musician who has the technique to play absolutely anything he can think, and always thinks the extraordinary. Everything on this CD is wonderful, and it's marvelously recorded (there is audience noise, but it's not distracting). I am not a pianist myself, but this has already made my desert island short list. Buy it - you'll enjoy it forever.

Stride Lives?.......2005-03-05

OK, it's not so harsh...I'd give it 3 1/2 if I knew how. but still...I want to like this disc more - he plays great. On some tracks he really plays his butt off. But some of his choices...
I compared his version of Bix's In The Dark to Jess Stacy's wonderful performance. Sutton just doen't trust the material. The balance between Jazz and Impressionism is upset by his overreliance on rubato. And in Willie the Lion's Echo of Spring, a potentially magnificent performance is marred by his repeating the quotes from Waller's African Ripples, as though he doesn't think we got his connection. And at 6 min.,it's about a minute too long - the improvising is good but not fascinating. And just in terms of programming, there are a couple of quotes from Dinah, which is the next track!
There is a lot of Waller in Sutton's playing, but technically he cannot bring off Waller's pearly runs and arpeggios (hear the beginnings of Ain't Misbehavin' and Viper's Drag). But this is unfair; Fats was a miracle...
Sometimes Sutton's groove is a little too bouncy and not incisive enough for my taste. At those moments he sounds like the World's Greatest Restaurant Pianist...but then I'm not doing justice to his passion, which is considerable. He was not a simple re-creator; he did a lot to keep this music alive and vital. I totally respect that, and there's a lot of pleasure to get out of his playing here.

Fine Piano.......2001-04-01

Ralph Sutton has long been a top flight stride pianist, and this 1994 album offers a typical set of Sutton favourites. Indeed, Sutton has been criticised for playing the same pieces again and again, and anyone who has heard him live will have heard many of these numbers.

However, Sutton is a genuinely improvising player, and within the context of Waller influenced stride piano, he plays with great creativity. Even though he must have played many of these pieces thousands of times, he finds something fresh to say. "Dinah", for example, is very different to previous recordings of it. Sutton is also a great ballad player, as tracks like "Love Lies" demonstrate.

Sutton is not quite in top form on this CD, but is such a fine player that a typical day for him is better than most of the competition. The sound quality is good, the audience enthusiastic and the piano in tune.

Along with "Live from the Cafe des Copains" on Sackville and "Eye Opener" on Solo Art, this album is a good record of the way Sutton has been playing in the last 20 years.
