I love hearing Randy play... - Jessica Williams. Pianist, arranger, composer and author Randy Halberstadt combines with bassist Jeff Johnson and drummer Gary Hobbs for new takes on a beautiful set of standards ("Touch of Your Lips," "Moonray," "Everything I Love"), originals and even Chopin"s "Nocturne in C# Minor." Known for his versatililty, advanced rhythmic concepts and sensitive approach, Halberstadt has been a favorite for years as a sideman backing up Herb Ellis, Sheila Jordan, Buddy DeFranco and Bobby Shew. He appears on the latest recording by Mimi Fox and recently toured Israel with Meredith d"Ambrosio.
