February 1, 1983 -- 3 An evening with Hagood Hardy by Diane Lackie oo Hey, Hardy, that's Good! Just noodle on with that music that touches the common chord while your Town Hall 1873 audience sits back, relaxes, wiggles its toes, gets mellow. With all that easy listen- ing, middle-of-the-road jazz and instrument- alism, February 10th' should be quite a toe- tapping evening. This quintessential middle-class Canadian from the wilds of Tor- onto (winter) and Lake Simcoe (summer) has created quite a sound on the international music scene so it's easy to understand why his public concerts are always sellouts. Composer-arranger- orchestrator-producer- performer extraordin- aire, Haygood Hardy mastered almost every type of musical creation and every sort of music imaginable. Hardy developed his classical piano skills while questing his B.A. from the University of ;Toronto, then became deeply involved in the Toronto jazz scene.
