And one of Andy's favorite subjects is keyboard runs-the streams of notes jazz artists use to glide across the keyboard with interesting melodic touches and chord colors. He wrote the book on chord substitutions, and whether performing as Stan Getz's pianist, or in recordings with Chick Corea, Dizzy Gillespie, Elvin Jones, Gerry Mulligan, Frank Sinatra and others, Andy's professionalism and fascinating variations on the standards have truly set him apart. Jazz pianist Andy LaVerne is celebrated for his interesting sense of harmony and sophisticated style.
