Hardbopjazz Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Anyone know this artists? I am listening to a Jimmy Ponder recording. Harvey Schwartz is playing on this live recording but it doesn't list the instrument. I know it is not guitar or piano. He is either bass or drums, but I can't fine him listed anywhere 10 minutes later: I found who he is. The name is spelled different.

alankin Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 And now known as Harvie S. I guess he got tired of telling people how to spell his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Fine bass player - saw him many years ago when he was a member of Double Image (David Friedman & Dave Samuels). This here is a bit short, but very well done, and features some really inspired playing by Dave Sanborn this side of Fusion: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 And now known as Harvie S. I guess he got tired of telling people how to spell his name. A friend of mine who's a musician told me he was told by a fellow musician that Harvey Swartz (his birth name) got tired of being hassled at airports (especially after 9/11) as to whether his name was Swartz, Shwartz, or Schwartz and legally changed his name to Harvey S.

We know each other some years, gigged-which was fun. When I lived in Riverdale, NY I saw him a lot. He's just up the road in a Hudson River town. Has a band called Eye Contact, Hispanic in orientation-and nice. There he goes by Harvito. Hope the MF doesn't have a hard time cashing checks! Great cat, a character, and a player of experience and accomplishment. Forget names if you meet him, though. Try nods, grunts, ASL, or that thing they used to do with their hands on home movie screens (; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
