Monday Nights with WBGO: Dick Hyman: Live at Lincoln Center:
For two nights in the club, legendary pianist Dick Hyman will treat audiences to intimate solo performances. Hyman’s career includes a nearly encyclopedic output of over 100 albums under his name, ranging from original piano and orchestral works, to interpretations of classic American music, ragtime, and variants of stride piano. The 88-year-old pianist is rumored to never miss a note, and while that in no way defines his art, the rumor’s mere existence in the context of such demanding music speaks volumes of his technical mastery. This is a chance to see America’s greatest music performed at the highest level by a living legend.
