Edward Thomas Harvey (15 November 1925–9 October 2012)[1] was a British jazz musician (piano, trombone, arranger and educator).
He also took his first professional job as a musician playing trombone with George Webb and his Dixielanders, a pioneering UK traditional jazz band featuring Wally Fawkes and Humphrey Lyttelton.
[2] After the Second World War, Harvey joined Freddy Randall, and he also began performing at Club Eleven in London with several young musicians — among them Ronnie Scott and John Dankworth — who were starting to experiment with the bebop style that they had picked up from US musicians like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
Now performing on both piano and trombone, Eddie Harvey spent the 1950s performing and recording with several important UK jazz groups, including bands led by Tubby Hayes, Vic Lewis, Don Rendell, and Woody Herman.
He joined the teacher training course with Hal Colin, guitarist, and Pete Blanin, bass.
