Pianist Dick Hyman began his career with Benny Goodman and made his name working with numerous jazz musicians. He was a regular on “Sing Along With Mitch,” a very un-hip TV show in the early 60’s. That makes this early foray into electronic music quite unusual. Hyman was one of the first to experiment with Moog synthesizer sounds, at the time a very unwieldy instrument. Lots of cables and plugs. You can tell Keith Emerson drew his inspiration for “Lucky Man” from this.
