We are glad to present to
our readers Mr. Dick Hyman! A great interview realized by ErMan
and Luke for Il Giaguaro InLounge Magazine #08 during last year.
Here the introduction to the article:
<< The Eclectic Sound of Dick
Hyman
by Maurizio "ErMan" Mansueti and Luca "Luke"
Cirillo (The Transistors)
Our
journey through the world of composers who have left an indelible
trace on contemporary music continues with this interview. This
time it truly is a great honor
to introduce Mr. Dick Hyman. Mr. Hyman spoke to us about
his virtuosity as composer, jazz pianist and experimenter of
the very first synthesizers and moogs: the years with Enoch
Lights' Command label, his past with Benny Goodman's
legendary band, his moog experimentation, his unique interpretation
and rediscovery of the American jazz school such as ragtime,
be-bop and swing. Furthermore, he told us about the inevitable
meeting with Woody Allen, with whom he outlined unforgettable
portraits like Zelig, Radio Days and many more,
in a perfect symbiosis between music and film. You will discover
that interviewing Dick Hyman is like reading a book on the modern
history of American music. So, make yourselves comfortable with
"The Purple Rose of Cairo" in the background,
and enjoy the interview.>>
