Art Riddles Music

"A heart attack earlier this month sent the Balcony Club's long time Jazz/Blues pianist Big Al Dupree on to his reward but last weekend, the music at the Balcony in Lakewood was as good as the memories of Big Al.
Sax Man Joseph Vincelli and Fleuglehorn player, Freddie Jones were in a ...jam session with Pyramid Room pianist Arthur Riddles and rather than the Standards they usually trot out for the customers, they played straight ahead jazz and gave a show that would have fit Austin's famous 6th St. music scene."

"It's late for a Sunday night, 10:30ish, but the cocktail sipping crowd at the Balcony Club is just getting started. Near the entrance, the Arthur Riddles Quartet is set up in a tight area around the club's piano.
The group rolls thru Charlie Parker's "Billies' Bounce." The quartet's exact timing and fluidity seem to make the crowd drunk with bliss. They're laughing. They're tapping their fingers on the tabletops. Maybe it's the booze, but for a Sunday, when most people are psyching themselves up for the work week, this group is almost having too much fun!" - Mike Emery
