The Amazing Duo Of Donald Ryan And David Amram At The Jazz Depot at Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame

The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame welcomes for the first time the awesome duo of Donald Ryan and David Amram. Donald Ryan has been playing the piano since he was three years old in his birthplace, Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies, and while still in his early teen years was the pianist for a weekly live radio program that reached a major portion of the islands. Ryan is a virtuoso pianist known internationally in the arenas of classical and jazz. Among the many artists he has worked with are Simon Estes, Leona Mitchell, Diahann Carroll and Henry Mancini.

Both of these artists are inductees of the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. ...
