Billy Hart Hart was born in Washington D.C. on November 29, 1940. His first steady gigs of note were with Shirley Horn and Buck Hill. In the 1960's he toured with Jimmy Smith, Wes Montgomery, Eddie Harris, and Pharoah Sanders. In 1970 he joined Herbie Hancock's Sextet, and after that band broke up in 1973 he joined first McCoy Tyner (two years) and then Stan Getz (four). In the 1980's Hart was a regular with many bands and leaders: Gerry Mulligan, Billy Harper, Clark Terry, The New York Jazz Quartet, the Jazztet, Mingus Dynasty and most extensively with Quest (with David Liebman, Ritchie Beirach, and Ron McClure). In the 1990's Hart was a member of the Charles Lloyd, Joe Lovano, and Tom Harrell groups, and in 1999 he began performing with the Three Tenors (Liebman, Lovano, and Michael Brecker). He is on about 500 hundred records as a sideman.

Jabali can hit any cymbal, one time, and you know it was him!!!

I love him to death. He kills me.

He made the drums sound like a subway ride (as if you were listening to the sounds from inside the carriage as someone had composed and then performed it). The train slowly speeds up racketing along to a steady tempo, then slows down, a rumbling can be heard as New Yorkers bustle and clamber out of the carriage. Then the momentum of the train speeds up again, the clacking of the steel wheels on the joints between the tracks can be heard at random intervals. The speed winds down to a halt again

what do you mean a subway ride?

Billy Hart: drums AND CYMBALS!!!

[szumo1982]

Billy Hart needs more recognition for his immense inspiration, both to fans and music lovers and to musicians throughout the last 45 years. I love him as a friend and mentor, drummer and composer, and person.

[brookiebigtime]

I used to watch Billy in the Fat Cat with Ethan Iverson and Ben Street, unbelievable musician, he played a subway ride for an introduction one night.
