LightStream is proud to present the music of Richard Shulman
An
exceptional composer and performer, Richard Shulman creates music
which exudes a joyful and heartfelt energy. Drawing on jazz and
classical roots, Shulman has forged a piano and keyboard style which
goes beyond established genres, embracing and uplifting the listener.
At the Eastman School of Music, Shulman studied jazz improvisation
with Chuck Mangione and Marian McPartland, and continued studies with
Frank Foster while getting his Masters in music composition at the
State University of New York at Buffalo.
Richard Shulman's Jazz performance and recording credits include work
with Thad Jones, Jerry Dodgion, Pepper Adams, Eddie Gomez, Robert
Previte, Lenny Pickett, Bob Moses, Steve Swallow, "Mr.
Spats," "Crossing Point," The Richard Reiter Swing
Band, "Providence," Grady Tate, and Ron Carter.
Shulman has performed at Carnegie Hall, Art Park, the United Nations,
the Kool Jazz Festival, The Amenia Peace Festival, and numerous venues
throughout North America and Europe. He has presented his music at,
and created background music for, many conferences including the
American Holistic Nurses Association '98, Healing Touch International
'97, '98, & '99, Wesak in Mt. Shasta '96 & '97, and The
Conclave of Michael. He has played for spiritual leaders including
Norma Milanovich, Hilda Charlton and Stylianos Atteshlis(Daskalos) and
many churches and synagogues. He has also provided background music
for spoken audio tapes, videos, television, and healing environments.
The Buffalo News says: "Tracing down Shulman's roots could take
much more space than these columns allow. His chamber jazz qualities
betray a host of European classical giants. Closer to home, the Bill
Evans harmonic approach is undeniable. So too is his debt to Keith
Jarrett, both for his melodic solos and perhaps even more for that
folksy outdoor quality.... There's also that airiness that's often
associated with George Winston."
Hugh Wyatt of the New York Daily News calls Shulman " most
enticing... a new find... in the Keith Jarrett tradition who cleverly
and interestingly weaves a number of different cultures into his
music." Don Slepian, writing in New Age Digest, lists Shulman's
"A Simple Gift" as his favorite Jazz/New Age album. The
Richard Shulman Group's third album, "Open Spaces" was
released in 1997.
In addition to his Jazz work, Shulman has since 1984 created music for
meditation and inspiration, which expresses the rewards of his own
inner quest. In his solo concerts, he often creates a Musical Soul
Portrait of the audience which serves to musically connect people with
their highest vision, and also takes people on a musical journey to
sacred sites, such as Assisi, Italy, the birthplace of St. Francis.
One collaborative effort in this sacred style, "Ascension
Harmonics" has been heralded as "an absolute feast of divine
sound" by Karin Johnson in Heartsong Review.
Mr. Shulman works with the power of music as a medium of positive
transformation. To this end he has recorded solo albums "World
Peace," " A Higher Dimension," "Light From
Assisi," "Transformation at Assisi," "First
Rites" (for Healing Touch), "Light Music", and more
recently "Ascension Harmonics" and "Keeper of the Holy
Grail" with the collaboration of Samuel Welsh. His latest release
"Music to Walk the Labyrinth", enhances reflection,
introspection, and walking meditation.
