Does Dick Hyman play by ear or sheet music?

@aardvaark069 it's the video quality. Baldwin piano's are absolutely delicious sounding in person
-
He can funk it up on the MOOG, play a rag like Tatum or play amazing ballads!
Is their anything this man CAN'T do?

@aardvaark069 ahahah...:-) but what about the "Baldwin sound" of many and many Bill Evans recording sessions...?? Or maybe...under Evans' fingers also a table would sound fantastic...!!

COMMENT on his name: I went to Jr High with his son his name was
also Dick Hyman, but he was called "little Dick Hyman" by the way he is one
of the most recorded pianist in all of Los Angeles and played any piano,
he had dual Steinways at home, and everything in the studio, he wasted much
time trying electronic keybooards that never met his standards

@aardvaark069 I don't know if Baldwin does this today, but from my first hand observation when I was growing up, they would lend grands to prominent pianists indefinitely in exchange for being listed in their publicity as a "Baldwin Artist". But I must agree with your lament - Baldwins were never, ever, on a par with Steinways or Bosendorfers. I have yet to play a Baldwin I admired.
I love this pianist but why oh why do jazz pianists feel that it is sooooh necessary to play these awful crass sounding Baldwin pianoes?
