William "Billy" Hart (born November 29, 1940) is an Americanjazz drummer and educator who has performed with some of the most important jazz musicians in history.
Hart was a member of Herbie Hancock's sextet (1969–73), and played with McCoy Tyner (1973–74), Stan Getz (1974–77), and Quest (1980s), in addition to extensive freelance playing (including recording with Miles Davis on 1972's On the Corner).
Robert Lee Hart (1866–1944), was a professional baseball player who played pitcher in the Major Leagues for the 1890 St.Louis Browns of the American Association. He played in the minors from 1886–1892.
Oceans of Time is an album by American jazz drummer Billy Hart recorded in 1996 and released on the Arabesque label.
Reception
The Allmusic review by David R. Adler awarded the album 3 stars.JazzTimes' Bill Bennett said "The ensemble concept works from an acoustic foundation, with violin, reeds and guitar layering on timbral and textural range. What Hart seeks, and finds, in his bandmates is that ability to shift gears, to move from inside to outside, to follow his rhythmic cues from the realm of dense, atmospheric arrangements into more direct renderings of the blues sensibility. Hart's inherent lyricism holds it all together, interacting freely with the beat without ever losing the swing factor. This is truly a band worth hearing".
Track listing
All compositions by Billy Hart except as indicated
