Dick Hyman - Indiana Variations
Review by Raven A. Clarke
Indiana Variations is a stunning album by Dick Hyman that showcases his exceptional talent as a pianist and arranger. The album features ten variations on the classic tune "Indiana," each with its unique style and mood. The variations range from upbeat swing to melodic ballads, showcasing Hyman's versatility and creativity.
The album opens with a lively and energetic variation that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Hyman's virtuosity is on full display as he effortlessly navigates the complex rhythms and harmonies of each variation. His arrangements are intricate and nuanced, with each note carefully placed to create a rich and dynamic sound.
Throughout the album, Hyman is joined by a talented group of musicians who bring their unique voices to each variation. The ensemble work is tight and cohesive, with each musician playing off of each other to create a seamless and cohesive sound.

Notes
A full-length CD, with 13 tracks, is included in the sheet music for Dick Hyman's Indiana Variations: 12 Variations On A Theme. According to the preface written by Hyman, "Indiana Variations is a suite of twelve new pieces for piano based on the old song, also known as 'Back Home Again in Indiana' by James Hanley, who wrote the music and Ballard MacDonald, the words. The original publication date was 1917, but 'Indiana' contains a short quote from an even earlier song called 'On The Banks Of The Wabash,' which is nearly forgotten today."About Dick Hyman
