Hi Bob. Hyman's prowess in ragtime has been known for decades. He recorded several albums under his own name starting in the 1960s, including the complete works of Scott Joplin in 1975, the soundtrack for the film Scott Joplin in 1977, and albums of Morton, Confrey, Waller, and many more. He has been playing stride piano at concerts since the 1960s in addition to ragtime. Hyman is prominently mentioned in the 1978 and 1988 editions of Rags and Ragtime by Jasen and Tichenor, and all editions of This is Ragtime by Terry Waldo going back nearly five decades. His role as Knuckles O'Toole for at least three of the 1957-1959 albums has also been no secret since the 1960s. I believe this was some of his favorite genre to play. I am hoping to see him the next couple of weeks when I go back to Sarasota (he lives just south) from Virginia and will try to get his opinion. However, any good book on ragtime should have mentions of him, and my recent book on Honky-Tonk Piano (Amazon) has a full chapter dedicated to Dick, Billy Rowland and Enoch Light, so there is plenty of information available with just a cursory look. Hope that is helpful.
