3. Dick Hyman Dick Hyman Plays Fats Waller

I’m not a huge fan of jazz, but I’m a huge fan of piano playing. This just corresponds to a time where our son had just been born, and we had this music system with a valve amp that was just incredible. It’s a beautiful object and at the same time the sound is just amazing.
So this Dick Hyman album was a revelation at the time, because we listened to it over and over again. It has such an atmosphere. It’s just piano. It’s a wonderful piece of music which puts you in a certain mood. Which is always good.
