Hardy, Hagood. Composer, arranger, vibraphonist, pianist, percussionist, b Angola, Indiana, of a Canadian father and a US mother, 26 Feb 1937, d Hamilton, Ont, 1 Jan 1997; BA (Toronto) 1958. Taken to Canada as an infant, he was raised in Oakville, Ont, where he studied piano with Edna Lawrence and Ellen Scott. In the mid-1950s he began playing the vibraphone and, while studying political science and economics at the University of Toronto, performed in local jazz clubs and on CBC TV, leading his own group 1957-61. In 1961 he went to the USA, where he played vibraphone for Gigi Gryce (New York 1961), Herbie Mann (on tour 1961-2), Martin Denny (Hawaii and Las Vegas 1962-4), and George Shearing (on tour 1964-7). Returning to Toronto, Hardy led a jazz trio (initially, Ian Henstridge, bass, and Ricky Marcus, drums) which, with the addition in 1969 of the singers Stephanie Taylor and Carrie Romano, became the Montage, a pop group with jazz and Latin American, Brazilian leanings. Continuing until 1974 with changing personnel, the Montage appeared infrequently in Canada but was successful in US nightclubs and also toured Europe.
