He's a jazz pianist who I discovered through an old issue of Modern Drummer. There are some samples on his myspace page, but they are brief.

Not sure how many solo albums he has, but there's t least this one: http://www.amazon.com/Radiant-Randy-Hoexter/dp/B00005S8DX/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1315622384&sr=1-2" rel="nofollow - http://www.amazon.com/Radiant-Randy-Hoexter/dp/B00005S8DX/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1315622384&sr=1-2

Here's a video of someone playing to one of his songs (It might be him but I don't know Embarrassed

Some Radiant album info (from Dec 2001 issue of Modern Drummer):

Randy Hoexter Radiant (they gave it 8 stars out of 10)

Dave Weckl, Tom Knight, Chip Lunsford, Keith Runfola (dr), Randy Hoexter (kybd), Mike Stern, Carl Culpepper (gtr), Adam Nitti, Dennis

Caiazza. Joe Reda (bs), Sam Skelton, Eric South (sx). Bob Lewis (tbn), Mike Barry, Gordon Vernick (trp, flghn)

Composer/keyboardist Randy Hoexter gathers an all-star lineup of

Atlanta musicians, along with a couple of household fusion names

(Weckl and Stern), to create an outstanding collection of tastefully

composed electric and acoustic jazz fusion material. The well-structured

arrangements give the drummers specific guidelines to follow

most of the time. Each drummer displays taste, subtlety, and discretion

in their choice of chops. In the recent trend to "jam," this is a welcome breath of

fresh air.
