Dick Hyman

Dick Hyman: No, this is not about whats happening today as familiar as these circumstances may seem. We re talking about the late 40s when Dick Hyman began playing professionally. So anyone questioning jazzs resiliency need take note of the 86-year-old pianists appearance Monday, Sept. 30 at the Old Mill to kick start Jazz.FM91s Sound of Jazz Series now in its 38th year, according to The Star. So much for jazz being dead once again and Against a background where a war-weary society is barely diverted from a shaky economy by the antics of perky pop stars, jazzs future is in doubt and worse. Perhaps jazz is even irrelevant. Beginning a six-part series recorded for the stations Sunday 11 a.m. broadcasts, Hymans 8 p.m. solo concert does double duty to set up the citys entire season of jazz which ranges from clubs to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra to the staid halls of the Royal Conservatory of Music.
