Happy Birthday Dick Hyman.  NPR celebrates Hyman's recent 85th birthday with
a profile. There are several recordings available for listening and links to
other NPR programs also featuring Hyman.  He is a regular at the Arbors
Piano Jazz Parties, contributor to soundtracks of many Woody Allen movies.
Before that, he was a regular participant at Dick Gibson's Colorado Jazz
Parties which concluded  in 1993 after 30  consecutive Labor Day weekend
events.

 

Here's the link-rattle around the site and listen to several numbers.
