Happy summer. So......I'll be 50 on July 17th. LET'S CELEBRATE!!! This episode is all about my original music. I've been composing since I was 16 years old. It was difficult to choose which pieces to feature, but I've chosen both vocal and instrumental pieces that I think represent what I'm all about. I grew up loving jazz piano and listening to Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. I also have been influenced by Pat Metheny, Toto, The Beatles, Billy Joel, and even Ludacris. I'm all over the place, but this is what makes me a well rounded musician.
At the young age of 4 years old, I started to pick out songs on the piano. I haven't stopped ever since. I was doing gigs before I could drive. My dad would drive me to the gig, wait and take me home. I finished 1st in the New Jersey All State jazz piano competition in 1988. I was privileged to study jazz piano at Manhattan School of Music with world-renowned jazz pianists Harold Danko and Gary Dial. I have performed with such headliners as Natalie Cole, Jimmy Buffet, and John Scofield. I am currently the music director for South Florida’s Heatwave Band. My first CD “Ready Steady Go” was released in 2007 to rave reviews. It's still available. Just send me an email at yhyman@comcast.net
So join me in the milestone birthday. Send me a email. Follow me on Instagram. I hope to hear from all of you.
