The idea came from research on elite performers, including musicians. Psychologist K. Anders Ericsson found that world-class violinists, pianists, and athletes had something in common — by the time they reached the top of their field, they’d spent around 10,000 hours in deliberate practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/b35d7cf2-7f61-4d60-a27e-09154de2292f/10%2C000+Hours+in+the+Making.png Pathways - The 10,000-Hour Groove - Deliberate Practice — The Secret Ingredient It’s not just about playing for hours — it’s about what you do during those hours: Breaking down challenges into small, fixable pieces. Focusing on your weak spots, not just your strengths. Getting feedback and adjusting in real time. Listening deeply to yourself and others. For jazz musicians, this means: Transcribing solos and really absorbing the phrasing. Practicing scales and patterns in all keys. Playing along with great recordings. Sitting in at jam sessions and learning from the bandstand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1b2b5bbe-1635-489a-af2a-ea4750149106/Split+image-Young_to_Piano-Stage.png Pathways - The 10,000-Hour Groove - Why It Matters If you practiced one focused hour a day, every day, that’s about 27 years to hit 10,000 hours. But if you’re doing 3–4 hours a day? You could reach that level in under 10 years. It’s not about racing to a number — it’s about understanding that mastery comes from time + intention + consistency. Every hour you spend really working on your craft is a deposit into your “musicianship bank.” Over time, the interest compounds, and suddenly, you’re not just playing — you’re speaking a language fluently. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/the-left-hand-in-art-and-music monthly 0.5 2025-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/d4fed342-0578-4f6e-a996-cee3703cd2d2/sweet-spot-hands-piano.png Pathways - The Hand of God, the Hand of the Artist - In classical piano, the hands are named — not just functionally, but symbolically. In Italian tradition, the right hand is called mano destra — the hand of God. The left? Mano sinistra — the sinister hand, the hand of the devil. In French, it’s main droite and main gauche — the adroit and the clumsy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1732390108907-P6ZR6AWPEIKUGCH575L0/Jazz+Hands.jpg Pathways - The Hand of God, the Hand of the Artist - As a pianist, this wasn’t ideal. I had to teach my non-dominant hand to become dominant again. It took will, repetition, and years of refinement, but I’m proud to say my right hand has become the precision instrument I needed it to be. I’m proud of what it can now do. But in my visual art, it’s the left hand that leads. Every brushstroke, every pastel pass, every drawn line — it's all left-handed. And after hours at the canvas, my left hand can be sore, but it’s also intuitive. It listens. It responds. It makes choices that feel instinctive, even sentient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/4b8665bb-2883-4008-bfcf-596bd5058e2b/hand-dances-2025-hank-hehmsoth.jpg Pathways - The Hand of God, the Hand of the Artist - And that’s the revelation: My work as a left-handed artist has elevated my voice as a pianist. It’s given me a new kind of touch, a new palette, a new sense of balance between the hands. That’s the beauty of this journey. It’s not just about overcoming adversity — it’s about cross-pollination, about unexpected gifts. And I’m thankful for all of it. — Hank Hehmsoth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/d09c49f3-41e2-4a88-a2a4-4b81262091b8/hank-signature-HH-transparent-blue.png Pathways - The Hand of God, the Hand of the Artist https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/time-space-and-the-brushstroke-improvisation-as-art monthly 0.5 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/0a2fa306-25c2-4780-8359-8a68fc48ebc6/time-space-fabrics-logo-color.jpg Pathways - Time, Space, and the Brushstroke: Improvisation as Art - There’s a moment I keep chasing — in both painting and music — where the human touch reveals itself.

These broadcasts featured some of the most iconic jazz musicians of the time. For decades, these recordings were believed lost, until my recent discovery at the Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS) at Rutgers University.

What stood out to me was the intricate balance between ictus—the exact moment of the beat—and tactus, the underlying pulse of the music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/a425d58d-9349-403b-a513-c7e19c8430c9/An+American+in+Paris+-+Miguel+Corvarrubias+1929.jpg Pathways - Beyond the Baton: Mastering the Conductor’s Ictus & Tactus in Gershwin’s An American in Paris ✨ - My Experience at the Piano: Following Peter Bay’s Baton —From my seat behind the Steinway grand, I had a firsthand view of Peter Bay’s masterful handling of these tempo changes. At one moment, his ictus was precise and crisp, guiding the orchestra through tight rhythmic passages. Then, in more expressive sections, his gestures expanded—allowing the tactus to stretch and contract naturally. One of the most challenging and exhilarating moments in this performance was realizing just how much each section of the orchestra had to rely on one another. The woodwinds and brass sections played off each other like a jazz ensemble, while the strings had to anticipate tempo shifts by trusting the collective pulse of the group.

This part has an interesting historical footnote—on the first recording of An American in Paris in 1929, made for the Victor Talking Machine Company, there was no celesta player available. In an unexpected turn, Gershwin himself stepped in to perform the passage on the actual recording. Imagining the composer sitting in that very role nearly a century ago added a special connection to the moment as I played it on stage. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/precision-passion-amp-perfection monthly 0.5 2025-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/540f0957-2386-4175-9a1c-7b9afe874513/austin-symphony.jpg Pathways - Precision, Passion, & Perfection - There’s something truly electrifying about being on stage with a full symphony orchestra. The sheer power of 80 musicians moving in perfect synchrony, the ebb and flow of sound, the conversations between instruments—this is music at its most profound.

It’s not just about producing something beautiful; it’s about discovery, risk-taking, and the courage to bring an idea to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/6e0dd544-1408-4853-9020-0cc10afd9ca6/chick-corea-hank-hehmsoth-backstage-one-world-theatre.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Creativity as a realm of complete immersion—a space where time and reality dissolve, leaving only the pure essence of artistic expression. This belief was crystallized for me by my mentor, Chick Corea. Chick described creativity as a world he could inhabit fully—a place where time and reality dissolved, leaving only the purity of artistic thought. "If you're aware of that sense," he told me, "nurture it, protect it, and develop it every day for the rest of your life." His words were a revelation, and they shaped not only how I approached my work but also how I saw my role as a teacher and advocate for jazz. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/54bf724c-3a7a-4e35-a5ec-44d5a2c166e9/Fulbright+Specialist+Award+Recognition+-+Hank+Hehmsoth.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Transcending Borders Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to see firsthand how jazz and creativity have the power to cross boundaries. As a Fulbright Specialist, I had the honor of teaching jazz to students in Chile who were hungry not just for the mechanics of harmony or improvisation, but for the ethos of self-expression that defines the art form. For them, jazz was more than music; it was a window into individuality and freedom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/9804f30d-f891-471c-a979-9f59989d207e/Hank+Hehmsoth+Lecture+and+Performance+at+the+U.S.+Army+School+of+Music.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Creative bridges across cultures In another chapter of my journey, I worked with U.S. Army Bands, training musicians to embrace the freedom of improvisation and creative collaboration. Whether in a university classroom or a military workshop, the message was the same: jazz is a universal language, one that embodies democracy, individuality, and the power of listening. It’s a conversation—crossing geographic, linguistic, and cultural divides https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/b46bbd0d-ef2c-4219-ae92-d46d4f635b59/taos-jemez-indian-vocalist-two-desert-dances.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Two Desert Dances My travels as a performer and composer have allowed me to explore the depth of other cultures. From incorporating rhythms and melodies inspired by the deserts of the American Southwest in compositions like Two Desert Dances to integrating archival Native American recordings into jazz, my work reflects a deep respect for how different traditions inform one another. These cultural exchanges have not only enriched my music but have also deepened my understanding of the universal human desire for expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/84301d3d-7ad6-4cce-920f-9328461024ae/baby-dodds.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Research has been a cornerstone of my career, allowing me to connect with the rich tapestry of jazz's past while illuminating its path forward. Key areas of focus include: The History of Jazz Drums: Chronicling the evolution of rhythm in jazz and the drummers who shaped its sound. American Film Composer Jerry Goldsmith: Exploring the works and legacy of one of Hollywood's most innovative musical voices. Iconic Jazz Performances: Unearthing and preserving lost gems like the groundbreaking "Just Jazz" video series. Oral Histories: Capturing stories from jazz luminaries like Dan Morgenstern to ensure their contributions are remembered and celebrated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/4fece97e-dd78-44b6-adf8-e6cb8d0d2d58/Blu-Escape+-+Hank+Hehmsoth+%282024+Album+Cover%29.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Blu-Escape This intersection of art and inquiry is perhaps most evident in my recent album, Blu-Escape. Each track is accompanied by a piece of visual art I created, blending sound and sight into a multidimensional experience. This project was not just about music or painting—it was about storytelling, about using every tool at my disposal to communicate something universal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/60a33edb-236b-40da-9554-8507399230c1/Hank+Hehmsoth+and+Major+General+Mark+MacCarley.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Understanding Global Dynamics Major General MacCarley engaged with me on how jazz embodies the very principles the United States seeks to promote internationally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/b7dae664-f144-48cc-a596-ac62b9f49765/Hank+Hehmsoth+Teaching+One-on-One+at+ProJazz.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - Teaching Freedom Through Improvisation Teaching has always been a vital part of my journey. Whether leading masterclasses for U.S. Army bands or mentoring the next generation of jazz musicians, I see my role as not just imparting musical skills but fostering a deeper understanding of what it means to create and innovate. Improvisation, the heart of jazz, is an act of freedom. It challenges musicians to trust themselves, listen to others, and embrace the unknown—all while working within a shared framework. Teaching this art to other cultures and students seeking their own voices has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/b02b0b5d-c40c-4037-b8a2-c74e08d09ca5/chick-corea-hank-hehmsoth-backstage-paramount-theatre-austin.jpg Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy - The concept of embracing creativity and infusing artistry into every interaction That idea—of living creatively, of making every interaction an act of artistry—has guided me throughout my career.

It is a music of conversation—between musicians, between cultures, and between ideas. It thrives on improvisation, the courage to take risks, and the discipline to channel those risks into meaningful expression. But most of all, I am proud to have used jazz to champion the values of freedom, individuality, and collaboration. In an era where these ideals often feel under threat, jazz remains a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we listen to one another, take risks, and create something greater than ourselves. It is this message that I hope to carry forward, continuing to use music as a bridge between cultures, a tool for education, and a celebration of the human spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/d09c49f3-41e2-4a88-a2a4-4b81262091b8/hank-signature-HH-transparent-blue.png Pathways - Jazz and Democracy: A Life in Advocacy https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/breathing-life-into-melody-on-the-piano monthly 0.5 2025-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/267a03ce-5e6a-4ab0-b158-71ac153ac816/Piano.jpg Pathways - Breathing Life into Melody on the Piano - Lessons from a Beethoven Legacy As pianists, we are often reminded that our instrument lacks the inherent breath of the human voice or wind instruments. Yet, the piano has a unique potential to sing—a potential I learned to unlock through years of study and a profound connection to a musical lineage tracing back to Ludwig van Beethoven himself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/d4fed342-0578-4f6e-a996-cee3703cd2d2/sweet-spot-hands-piano.png Pathways - Breathing Life into Melody on the Piano - The Sweet Spot: Finding Connection Through Touch Unlocking this lyrical quality starts with understanding the mechanics of the piano itself. Imagine the piano key as a canvas and your fingers as tools shaping the art. Position your hands just before the black keys, in what I like to call the sweet spot. This minimizes unnecessary in-and-out motion, allowing your fingers to move laterally with ease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/a36bc551-14bf-4372-ba1b-45e763c742ce/finger-connected-to-key.png Pathways - Breathing Life into Melody on the Piano - A Practical Approach Hand Position: Position your thumb near the edge of the white key and the beginning of the black keys.

By imagining a melody as if it were sung, we can infuse it with vibrancy and emotional depth. Accompaniment plays an equally vital role—much like a sculptor chiseling a figure from stone, the pianist must shape the volume and tone of the harmony to allow the melody to emerge in relief. Every note in the accompaniment must serve the melody, breathing life into its contours and giving it clarity and focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/3f529d6c-c02f-43d2-92d8-1b174e2b6f43/key-bed-legato-hands-piano.png Pathways - Breathing Life into Melody on the Piano - The Key Bed When pressing a key, remember that the true sound is created at the key bed, not at the surface. If your finger remains connected to the key, driving deliberately to its bottom, you’ll produce a rich, resonant tone.

As a child, I often found myself sketching and painting, but it was music that took center stage in my formal education, particularly classical and jazz piano. However, even amidst the rigors of musical training, the pull toward visual arts remained a constant undercurrent, offering me another way to explore and express my creative voice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/a7632fe7-3e3e-4fc1-8b75-946dc2226b58/Finger%2BDrumming-Hank-Hehmsoth.jpg Pathways - The Artist’s Hands: Creating Music and Art at the Piano - Finger Drumming "Finger Drumming" is how Chick Corea, my mentor, described the art of piano playing. He said, "A pianist has 10 drumsticks to play with." This transformed how I approach the piano—not just as a melodic instrument, but as a full rhythm section at my fingertips. Your hands and fingers become an orchestra, capable of executing endless patterns, grooves, and polyrhythms. It’s this rhythmic dimension, this dance of the fingers across the keys, that brings life and motion to a performance, blending the precision of drumming with the harmonic richness of the piano. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/c41e362b-de91-4237-9c87-1f9b790d785f/Hank+Keys+2022.jpg Pathways - The Artist’s Hands: Creating Music and Art at the Piano - Hank Keys 2022 The essence of music lies within a single octave—the 12 notes that form the foundation of all musical expression. Beyond that, it’s a matter of displacement, inversion, and transposition across registers. But the root, the core of it all, remains in the simplicity of the octave. At the piano, I see this as a world of infinite possibilities where every note within the 12 is a seed for creativity, harmony, and invention. My hands translate this simplicity into complexity, weaving stories and emotions through sound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/288f1d09-4476-4d56-8351-0156c31fb10d/Hank+Hehmsoth+Solo+Improv+Elephant+Room.jpg Pathways - The Artist’s Hands: Creating Music and Art at the Piano - Playing a jazz improv solo The pianist’s right hand mid-flight during an improvisational jazz solo, capturing the dynamic interplay of creativity and technique, as each finger moves with precision and fluidity across the keys. It’s not just about hitting the right notes—it’s about storytelling, emotion, and spontaneity. At the heart of jazz, the performer’s personal expression comes alive, creating a unique musical narrative in real time. For me, it’s these moments at the piano that feel the most free, where the instrument becomes an extension of thought and emotion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/3d5cb6c6-c96b-4b6e-a0f8-f7a6e9e458bf/TheJazzPianoMind.jpg Pathways - The Artist’s Hands: Creating Music and Art at the Piano - The Jazz Piano Mind The art of jazz piano is a seamless synergy between the mind, the ears, and the hands. The mind shapes the concept—crafting the ideas and emotions behind the music. The ears hear the creation in real time. The fingers are the interface to the keyboard, executing the will of the artist. It’s an interconnected process where intellect, intuition, and technique merge to bring music to life. This artwork represents that profound connection, the essence of jazz creativity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/e24891c2-92ca-4239-803b-f29a2efd9778/fundamentals.png Pathways - The Artist’s Hands: Creating Music and Art at the Piano - The Artist’s Hands: Piano Fundamentals and Online Lessons Discover the artistry behind Hank Hehmsoth’s piano techniques as he shares foundational insights and introduces his engaging online piano lessons.

As a child, I would sit at the piano, poring over sheet music from Camelot, Cabaret, and My Fair Lady. But nothing captured my imagination quite like Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story. My father, an accomplished musician and musical director at the Paramount Theatre, encouraged me to dive into these rich, complex arrangements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/19e9818e-db21-4044-b138-b1eabe8d3b9c/leonard-bernstein-macdowell-1962.jpg Pathways - From West Side Story to MacDowell - Leonard Bernstein, MacDowell, and the Piano That Bridged Us In 2011, I was awarded my first MacDowell Fellowship in Composition. This was a defining moment in my career, recognizing my work as a composer and placing me in a lineage of great artists who have graced the MacDowell Colony. One of those artists was none other than Leonard Bernstein, whose music had so profoundly inspired me as a child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/f1f58c8e-5057-4ae7-adc1-71e8e5467acf/Bernstein+ComposingWatsonHouse.jpg Pathways - From West Side Story to MacDowell - Leonard Bernstein’s Legacy at MacDowell Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990) was already a towering figure in music when he first stayed at The MacDowell Colony in 1962. Bernstein returned to MacDowell in 1970 and 1972, finding inspiration for works he described as having “a vastness, which were dealing with subjects of astronomical if not mystical and astrological dimension.” In a 1987 interview, he reflected, “This vastness is inherent somehow in this place.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/b3c8a858-84f3-417f-ad6e-0b34cb0ea6ce/MacDowell-Tombstone---Watson-House.jpg Pathways - From West Side Story to MacDowell - The “Tombstone” Tradition at MacDowell One of the unique traditions at MacDowell is the "Tombstone," a wooden tablet where each artist inscribes their name and dates of stay. It is a symbolic gesture, a way to leave a lasting mark on the hallowed grounds of this artist colony. Adding my name to this collective legacy alongside Bernstein and so many other luminaries was both surreal and profoundly moving.

He served as the musical director during the theater's heyday, conducting live orchestras for a variety of performances. In 2015, the Paramount celebrated its 100th centennial, and I was an honoree, (pictured with my son, Milo) proud to be a part of this rich legacy, which profoundly influenced my own path in music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/0abbac7c-0b33-4f74-956d-89b946ca4f50/hank-hehmsoth-in-Watson-Studio-Macdowell-Colony_Master.webp Pathways - From West Side Story to MacDowell - At MacDowell, I was assigned to the Watson House At MacDowell, I was assigned to the Watson House, where Bernstein himself had stayed during his visits. Even more remarkably, I worked at the same Steinway he used while composing some of his seminal works. Sitting at that piano in the serene environment of MacDowell was a deeply humbling experience, as if I were communing with the spirit of one of my greatest inspirations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/ab7cde3c-f5bd-40c9-ab7e-e352f8ff93f1/hank-hehmsoth-composing-piano-macdowell-colony-watson-studio.webp Pathways - From West Side Story to MacDowell - Norton Stevens Fellowship in Composition I was honored again in 2012 with the prestigious Norton Stevens Fellowship in Composition, awarded by the Norlin Foundation for my composition “Two Desert Dances.” These two years of recognition not only affirmed my dedication to composition but also connected me to a broader artistic community that celebrated creativity in its purest form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/0da85ea3-a5c2-48b8-854a-09cda58cb9e1/Hank+Hehmsoth+Performance+at+MacDowell+2011.jpg Pathways - From West Side Story to MacDowell - Broadway, Composition, and the Artistic Journey Reflecting on my journey, I see how the threads of my early exposure to Broadway music, my father’s influence, and my professional experiences in Broadway pits have woven together to shape my identity as a musician and composer.

For the “Beautiful” production at Bass Concert Hall, I shared the pit with some of Austin’s top musicians. Featuring Eric Johnson (trumpet), Paul Deemer (trombone), John Mills (sax/flute), Hank Hehmsoth (keyboard), and Paul Baker (sax), these first-call musicians bring expertise and artistry to every performance. The audience is visible above the pit, creating a dynamic connection between the orchestra and the stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/d09c49f3-41e2-4a88-a2a4-4b81262091b8/hank-signature-HH-transparent-blue.png Pathways - Behind the Curtain: A Broadway Show Pianist’s Setup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/walk-with-me-1996 monthly 0.5 2025-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/cba48906-5829-41ca-a837-ab6c5d0119a9/Walk-with-Me-musical+Hehmsoth.jpg Pathways - "WALK WITH ME" 1996 "WALK WITH ME" (1996): Program cover from the premiere of "WALK WITH ME," an original musical play composed, performed, and musical directed by Hank Hehmsoth. Commissioned by St. Edward's University and presented at the Mary Moody Northern Theatre from April 16-28, 1996, this innovative work was directed by Melba Martinez with a script by David Kramer and story by Martinez. The musical explores themes of medieval spirituality, drawing on the ancient practice of contemplative labyrinth walking—a ritual meditation pathway walked by nuns to symbolize spiritual journeys. With music and lyrics by Hehmsoth and contributions from recording artists Hartt and Illuminada, the program cover serves as a rare artifact of this immersive work, which combined historical reverence and original jazz-infused composition to offer audiences a moving journey of reflection and prayer. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/two-desert-dances monthly 0.5 2024-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/3210384a-1718-4fa8-97cd-b916133c8ac5/Two+Desert+Dances+-+Hank+Hehmsoth.jpg Pathways - Two Desert Dances: Bridging Cultures Two Desert Dances by Hank Hehmsoth is a groundbreaking composition that merges jazz ensemble with Native American dance recordings from the 1950s. This work, inspired by archival field recordings from the John Donald Robb Archive, features a live ensemble performing alongside original recordings of Native American musicians. Inspired by intricate rhythms and timeless melodies from Jemez Indian and Southwest Native American traditions, "Two Desert Dances" celebrates the connection between past and present in a deeply spiritual and artistic dialogue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/d09c49f3-41e2-4a88-a2a4-4b81262091b8/hank-signature-HH-transparent-blue.png Pathways - Two Desert Dances: Bridging Cultures - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/a-private-lesson-with-aaron-copland monthly 0.5 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/5fed8498-d329-4c5b-896a-d56af86e988d/Copland+Creative+Commons.jpg Pathways - A Private Lesson with Aaron Copland - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/scary-movie-blu-ray-special-edition-release monthly 0.5 2024-11-17 https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/austin-jazz-society-hall-of-fame monthly 0.5 2024-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1730620664240-XEC5WPWLBXG1EI7SHFOZ/Carmen+AJS+Hall+of+Fame.jpg Pathways - Austin Jazz Society Hall of Fame - Friday night was one for the books at the Austin Jazz Society Hall of Fame Awards! What a joy it was to see my dear friend, the legendary Carmen Bradford, inducted into the Hall of Fame. After over 40 years of friendship and countless shared stages, it’s a thrill to watch her artistry and spirit shine so brightly on such a well-deserved night. From her first days with the Count Basie Orchestra to Grammy-winning performances, Carmen has touched so many lives with her warmth, grace, and talent. Celebrating with her in Austin, where her journey started, was a beautiful full-circle moment. Honored to close out the show with the Butch Miles Memorial Big Band in tribute to Carmen. Here’s to the music that connects us and the friends who become family. #jazzfamily #austinjazz #HallOfFame #carmenbradford #jazzlife https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/jazz-with-miss-beverly-sills monthly 0.5 2024-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/d01187d6-56fd-474c-b5d6-38735b1d3ed4/Beverly-Sills Pathways - Jazz With Miss Beverly Sills - Opera meets Jazz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/c96c2fdf-4d23-43b1-8382-ca82652b0a5c/Rob+Roy-topaz-upscale-3.7x.jpeg Pathways - Jazz With Miss Beverly Sills In the 1980s, I was the go-to pianist for corporate events, grand openings, and gala fundraisers—always dressed in a tuxedo, ready to provide that touch of elegance everyone seemed to want. High-end neighborhoods were springing up all over West Austin, and Rob Roy was one of the premier gated communities at the time. One particular event stands out: a fundraiser for the March of Dimes held at a stunning $4 million mansion on Pascal Lane, purchased by a corporation solely to host lavish parties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/de3f1c61-fccb-4fcb-883a-499247a2a4cf/Rob+Roy2-topaz-upscale-3.7x.jpeg Pathways - Jazz With Miss Beverly Sills The night was everything you'd imagine—limousines pulling up, guests in evening gowns, incredible food, and casual conversations under the stars. As I played background jazz—standards from Gershwin, Harold Arlen, and Cole Porter—a noticeable buzz began to ripple through the crowd. I looked up and there she was: Beverly Sills. I didn’t realize it then, but Beverly was the National Chair of the March of Dimes' Mothers' March on Birth Defects and had helped raise over $80 million during her tenure. The energy shifted instantly; everyone wanted to meet her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/f2f152e1-ad67-4b82-8dab-38acc3cfbe05/sills_sinatra_merrill.jpeg Pathways - Jazz With Miss Beverly Sills - Only later did I learn she had shared the stage with legends like Frank Sinatra, Carol Burnett, Danny Kaye, and Ann-Margret.

There's something about making music with someone that forms an unspoken bond; it’s like knowing their name, and knowing them forever. Beverly made sure to come by again before leaving, thanking me and saying how much fun it had been. And yes, I even got a little kiss on the cheek.

One of those happened during our stop in Hawaii, where we had just one gig lined up after a long tour across Japan. I’m an early riser, so as usual, I got up at 5:00 AM to go for my morning run. The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon as I jogged along the beach outside Honolulu. The air was perfect, the waves were calm, and everything was peaceful... until I ran straight into a TV set. Now, picture this: I’m drenched in sweat, trying to do my best “marathoner at sunrise” routine, and there’s a whole crew filming a scene with models in swimsuits. Suddenly, a guy from the set, clearly in charge of keeping random dudes like me out, yells, “Hey! What are you doing here?” Without missing a beat (and still catching my breath), I throw out the most absurd excuse I can think of: “I’m with Christopher Cross! I’m his piano player! We’ve got a concert in two days, and I came here to personally invite Charlie’s Angels to the show!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/b44004a5-3615-47e4-92e8-163a6a8c996a/cheryl-ladd-autographed-8x10.jpg Pathways - My Date with a Charlie’s Angel - Of course, the guy isn’t buying it. He practically laughs me out of the park, probably thinking I’m crazy. But just as I’m about to make my sweaty exit, one of the models chimes in, “Hold on, let him in!” And suddenly, there I am, standing in front of three Angels, passing out backstage passes to our show. (I mean, it’s Charlie’s Angels, how could I not?) Fast forward to concert night, and who shows up backstage? None other than Cheryl Ladd herself, the real-life Angel. She walks over, says hello, and next thing you know, we’re sitting down, sharing a cup of coffee and chatting for about half an hour. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/10-meter-board monthly 0.5 2024-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/58dd9748-d045-4180-9a3e-19bc5abcffab/Alamo+Heights+swimming+Pool-topaz-sharpen.jpeg Pathways - 10 Meter Board - 10 meter Diving Board — Now Outlawed Back flips to impress the chicks all summer long!

We would see who could perform the highest splash . The cannon ball from the high board was a killer. I remember one girls hair turned green from chemicals in the pool. David Delph and I would jump the fence at midnight and go up on the 10 meter to smoke joints. The Alamo Heights Police came in the parking lot to look at my parked car, but never thought to look up at the 10 meter to see if someone was up there! https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/dinner-with-bacall monthly 0.5 2025-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/b35995ea-aea4-4d00-ba20-1e1ce252de55/Elaine%27s.jpg Pathways - Dinner with Bacall - Way back in 1980 in NYC, I was on tour with Christopher Cross. We were in NYC to play Radio City Music Hall (another story!!) We had played the night before, on The Tomorrow Show, with Tom Snyder. The Warner Brothers Rep took us all in limos to Elaine’s, the storied and excellent restaurant in the middle of the theatre district. Elaine’s was a New York City institution since opening in 1963 and remained one until it closed in 2011. Popular with celebrities and the social set, fans and photographers would frequently crowd the sides of the yellow awning just to sneak a peak at who was entering and exiting those signature wooden doors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/a5b07af1-4d08-4883-b0fc-9423b3f26088/Bacall.jpeg Pathways - Dinner with Bacall - We were all seated at tables. I spotted James Garner and Lauren Bacall, seated at a table in the corner, and suggested to Chris to send them a note. I don’t know what was in the note, but James Garner came over right away, and talking to Chris, said he’d seen us on TV the night before. He said he’d been a big investor in Warner Brothers (soon to be Warner Communications) since his “Maverick” TV show. He suggested we all eat together. Elaine’s pushed several tables together. I remember making a beeline to sit next to Lauren Bacall. We must have chatted for 45 minutes! She was so gracious, and asked me all about my career. I told her how much a fan I was of hers. After all, she was named the 20th-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute. She received an Academy Honorary Award in 2009 in recognition of her contribution to the Golden Age of motion pictures. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/sub-for-count-basie monthly 0.5 2025-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/2d3a29a3-df99-48a8-816e-645c3489d639/count-basie.jpg Pathways - I Subbed for Basie I came back from Eastman School of Music with my head full of contemporary jazz, this is maybe 1976? I was playing all kinds of gigs. One Saturday afternoon I got a phone call at 2:30 and this agent asked me, "Hey, can you play for Count Basie tonight? He's got the flu, and I need to find a sub for him!" I said, are you sure you want me? And he said, “I've already tried a lot of people.” I said, “OK that sounds good.” The concert/dance was at the University of Texas Union ballroom. And it was advertised as a “sock hop.” (I guess you know what that is. Everybody takes their shoes off and dance on the wooden dance floor in their socks.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/22ce4873-379f-405e-9d37-faf7c91fc836/Freddie-Green.jpg Pathways - I Subbed for Basie - So when I arrived (oh by the way, this is probably 1976 and I looked like I was 14 years old, so blonde and blue eyed) I realized I was the only white guy in an all black Count Basie Orchestra Big Band. They looked at me like “oh no!” But we had to do this, so I sat down at the piano, and I realized there's no music! There's no piano book! After all it's Count Basie's band and it's his music. He doesn't need a book. I wasn't versed in jazz history, and what I didn't know at the time, was that I was sitting with super legendary jazz artists. Freddie Green was Basie’s guitarist for 40 years. He said, “That's all right kid. I know this music. Here's my book. You can use my book.” After we played a tune, the band realized I could actually play jazz and warmed up to me. They were enthusiastic, friendly, and helpful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/7af67b87-0e32-487a-a8b7-c7e196554bcf/Joe-Williams.jpg Pathways - I Subbed for Basie - Here’s one thing I didn't know at all! Count Basie has this very famous cliché way of ending a song. It's a very simple little “plink plink” piano solo. When it came time for me to play that, I launched into this really fast show-off ending, which made the band just aboutt fall out of their chairs laughing. I didn't know why or what I did. But a guy said, “Hey, just keep it really simple.” And I only found out later that I was really blowing the ends of these tunes. I mentioned these legends. This very handsome black man came out to sing, and he had the most beautiful, baritone voice. I find out later that his name was Joe Williams, and was quite a voice superstar. All in all, it was a great experience. I learned a lot. I learned what I should've known, and it was a great evening. 300 people were dancing to Count Basie's great music and a this is a story I'll never forget. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/ladybird-movie monthly 0.5 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/8bd38af4-b077-4576-ad9d-2e0f1da208cc/LadyBird+Johnson+movie+premiere.jpg Pathways - LadyBird Movie - Make it stand out “for Hank Hehmsoth, whose talents added pleasure and charm to “my film” on this special day” – Lady Bird Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1726922048744-9FFOLO5LPAO9NLIH56NQ/Lady-Bird-Johnson-Premiere-topaz-face-sharpen.jpeg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1726922036108-MAQBVQ9QVAZ0NEXORZ5S/LadyBird-Premiere-JohnHank-topaz-face-sharpen.jpeg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1727010356661-GNSKVVCBQRQJFHOF4S75/LadyBird-Premiere5-topaz-face.jpg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1726921973536-QTX73Z3SUGVKGKRQ3DB7/LadyBird-Premiere2.jpg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1726921947191-AK837JXIX6U05TG0YD3G/LadyBirdPremiere3.jpg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1726922017632-974EKIPJI3WD3J200BGI/LadyBirdLDocumentaryLBJRanch_Page_1.jpg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1726921989494-KUOYNIE48DMVQ09516T5/LadyBird-Documentary-pg6.jpg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/1726922006085-K0P7DRSN98RHUVJHPGBE/LadyBird-Documentary-pg5.jpg Pathways - LadyBird Movie https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/my-la-la-land-experience monthly 0.5 2025-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/201a3fa8-884f-47bd-a98c-6c940dfd4c18/LaLa+Lnd.jpg Pathways - La La Land Pianist - The Call From Hollywood: My La La Land Experience So, after La La Land swept the Academy Awards, I got a rather unexpected phone call.

They were preparing for a world tour of “La La Land – In Concert,” and Austin was slated to be the first stop after its big Los Angeles debut. How they found me, a pianist in Texas, is still a mystery. Maybe they Googled "pianist in Texas who knows jazz and film scores"? Who knows! But one thing was clear—they needed someone who was classically trained, familiar with film music, and could swing some major jazz. I guess I checked all the boxes. https://hanksjazz.com/pathways/dizzy-stops-by monthly 0.5 2025-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65e7872072d34e09bf0cff8a/f219b6a6-db52-4904-85a2-0a7366b6b52d/ausctr-omni-austin-hotel-downtown-lobby-atrium-view-captial-a-restaurant.jpg Pathways - Dizzy Stops By To Say Hi - It was 1991 and I was playing happy hour in the atrium at the Omni hotel in downtown Austin.
