Biography and career
Hyde was born Richard John in Lansing, the capital of the U.S. state of Michigan, on 4 July, 1936. He began his trombone studies in fourth grade when he was living in Bluffton, Indiana and later in Los Angeles, California. He lived (in 2013) with his wife Yolanda (Yolee) of 42 years in Hawi, Hawaii. Hyde continued his studies first at the Los Angeles City College and then at the Navy School of Music, which at the time was located at the Naval Receiving Station of Anacostia, on the Anacostia River in Maryland.[3] He served and toured with the United States Navy Band, based at the historic Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., where he met saxophonist Jay Migliori, who helped him to take the first steps towards his professional career.[1]
Hyde made his recording debut on the 1960 big band vocal album, Two Much!, with Ann Richards singing backed by Stan Kenton and his Orchestra. Since then he has toured and recorded hundreds of albums with rock, pop, jazz artists, including Ralph Marterie, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Harry James (1960–1961), Roger Wagner Orchestra and Chorale (1966), Carole King (1973), Jaco Pastorius (1982–1983), Frank Sinatra (1987–1989). He has recorded with jazz big bands and artists such as Henry Mancini, Bill Conti, Allyn Ferguson, Johnny Mandel, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Thelma Houston, Cannonball Adderley, Tom Scott, folk artists like Rita Coolidge and Kris Kristofferson, and popular music acts such as Neil Diamond, Donna Summer, The Pointer Sisters, The Beach Boys, Helen Reddy, Earth, Wind & Fire, Supertramp, Madonna among many others.[1]
Recipient of four NARAS MVP awards in 1974, 1984, 1986, and 1988 respectively, and MVP Emeritus, his style is strongly influenced by American trombonists J. J. Johnson and Carl Fontana.[1]
