50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION - The Summer Season Episode 3

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
