Clyde Hart

Clyde Hart (Baltimore, Maryland, February 24, 1910 - New York City, March 19, 1945) was an American jazz pianist and arranger.

Hart first worked with Gene Coy, Jap Allen (1930-31) and Blanche Calloway (1931-35). After a brief stint with the declining McKinney's Cotton Pickers, he settled in New York where he led his own quartet, arranged for Andy Kirk and made quite a few recordings (including with Billie Holiday and Red Allen) as a supportive pianist.
