Tim Lyddon
Born:
Pianist/composer Tim Lyddon describes his approach to music as "...uncompromised, what I feel from the heart, drawn from my life's experiences." Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett along with impressionism and introspection are key influences and elements in his approach. Tim began studying piano at nine years old, but took a serious interest in jazz three years later after his family moved to California. Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson and Bud Powell were his first influences in developing his own natural swing feel. Tommy Flanagan, Hank Jones, Jarrett and Evans soon followed. A serious and dedicated student, he studied with Charlie Shoemake and Terry Trotter, and after a two year stint in Las Vegas, he returned to Los Angeles and immersed himself in the jazz scene playing with great musicians such as Dick Berk, Chuck Flores, Sam Most, Bob Summers and Kim Richmond as well as leading his own trio. He recorded two trio projects and also recorded two albums with Stan Kenton trombonist Ray Weigand, as well as various television and movie scores. After studying classical piano on scholarship with Milton Stern, Tim studied composition and arranging with Spud Murphy, who also taught such luminaries as Oscar Peterson, Gerald Wiggins and Bennie Maupin

Tim Lyddon: I've Traveled So Far
by C. Michael Bailey
What's not to like... With an engaging light-as-a-feather, block-chord touch, pianist Tim Lyddon spins out eight original and two standard compositions, all impeccably performed in the piano trio format.. A California-born current New Yorker, Lyddon employs his original compositions to express the art of the trio. He is not a blues player (at least on this ...
