About Cy Walter
Cyril Frank Walter was an American café society pianist based in New York City for four decades. Dubbed the "Art Tatum of Park Avenue," he was praised for his extensive repertoire and improvisatory skill. His long radio and recording career included both solo and duo performances, and stints as accompanist for such elegant vocal stylists as Greta Keller, Mabel Mercer, and Lee Wiley. The entire show was professionally captured by filmmaker Michael Stever and sound engineer Rubin Nizri of New Record Studios, and can be viewed in its entirety on The Cy Walter Foundation's YouTube channel. Also celebrated was the release of a two-volume CD set by Harbinger Records entitled Cy Walter: Sublimities Centennial Tribute.
