Jazz Museum Events, December 7 - 8
THIS WEEK AT THE JAZZ MUSEUM IN HARLEM – LOCKE AND NASH

December 7, 2006

Eddie Locke, guest of Harlem Speaks interview series on December 7, 2006, was part of the very fertile Detroit jazz scene of the late 1940s/early 1950s. He had a variety act with fellow drummer Oliver Jackson from 1948-53 called Bop and Locke, while freelancing with other Detroit musicians. After moving to New York in 1954, he played with Dick Wellstood, Tony Parenti, Henry “Red” Allen, Willie “The Lion” Smith, Teddy Wilson, Roy Eldridge and Coleman Hawkins, becoming a regular in the latter's group during the 1960s. In addition to recording with Lee Konitz, Tiny Grimes and Earle Warren, Locke was with Roy Eldridges' band at Ryan's throughout the '70s, and he remains active today.
