Richard’s Music

Available on Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Spotify

The latest album of all original compositions from the renowned keyboardist, composer and producer.

A stylistically diverse suite in which Richard, on piano, collaborates with many of his world class musical friends. Through 14 tracks, Dworsky offers his unique take on Bluegrass, 1920s Hot Jazz, Classical, Rag, Blues, Celtic folk, and evocative ballads.

Guest soloists include Nashville pickin’ superstars Jerry Douglas (dobro) and Stuart Duncan (fiddle), harmonica wizard Howard Levy, Minnesota Orchestra’s principal cellist Anthony Ross and trumpeter Charles Lazarus; traditional jazz legends Warren Vache (cornet), Ken Peplowski (clarinet), Andy Stein (violin), and Prairie Home fiddler/mandolinist Richard Kriehn.

All in Due Time features three of Rich’s original vocal songs including Goin’ to the Dance With You that has been recorded by the great Kristin Chenoweth, but here it’s sung by the wonderful Tony DeSare (Concord Jazz artist). The sweet lullaby All the Joys is sung by Richard’s talented sister, Sally Dworsky (The Lion King, Prince of Egypt), and the final song is Dworsky’s setting of the moving Emily Dickinson poem If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain, sung tenderly by Dworsky’s old friend and collaborator, the late Al Jarreau (multiple Grammy winning vocalist).
