Richard Badendyck

Carl Richard Badendyck (born in 1942) is a Norwegian Jazz singer and pianist, that in his time was strong in Decathlon.[1]

Biography

Badendyck has released three solo albums, That’s All (2005), Peace (2010) and Lover (2015), and it is on time for a Norwegian male voice on the jazz scene again. The second album Peace containing American standards and with his son Dag Richard Badendyck as pianist on a song, got good reception in the media.[2] The latest album with songs from «The American Songbook» with strings arranged by Odd Riisnæs who also plays saxophone, while Stig Hvalryg playing upright bass and Sigmund Thorp conducting the string orchestra. There are for the most standards, except Badendycks own tune, "Lover". It has been done with respect for the masters, and sounds much more robust than for example Kurt Elling and Gregory Porter, or for that matter Jimmy Scott.[3]
