Herbert Frederick Hunt (21 September 1923 – 25 April 1986) was an English jazz pianist.

Early life

Born in London as the younger son of a pianist mother and a cellist father he enjoyed thorough musical education from his distinguished parents. Hunt was a self taught pianist. He started playing piano at the age of 13 and played local gigs before joining the Royal Air Force.

Career

After demobilisation, he began his musical career playing semi-professionally with Mike Daniels and the Cy Laurie Four in 1951. He then became professional and went on to join Alex Welsh's band from 1954 to 1962 and again from 1964 to 1974.

As Welsh's primary pianist, and often a featured soloist, he became one of Britain's leading trad jazz musicians, and recorded with Eddie Davis, Bud Freeman, Eddie Miller, and Ben Webster in 1967. His work with Alex Welsh did not stop him from accompanying visiting Americans, including recording with the four-tenor group, Tenor Of Jazz, featuring Ben Webster and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, which toured in the late 60s.

After leaving Welsh in 1974, he played in Copenhagen and South Africa, then split his time after 1976 between Britain, Denmark and Germany. He led a trio featuring drummer Lennie Hastings from 1978 although Hastings died that year.

In 1979 the German label Erus Records released a direct cut LP called Yesterdays which featured the Fred Hunt Trio (Fred Hunt on piano, Brian Mursell on bass and Roger Nobes on drums) in front of a live audience.[1]

Other albums include "Peals on Velvet" (trio) recorded 1968 and 1957, "Elegie" (trio with Roy Rubin and Lennie Hastings) recorded 1978 and "Blues 'n' Boogie" a duo with Mike Bracewell and one track with Alex Welsh added on cornet, recorded 1979 and 1968.

He toured with Wild Bill Davison late in the 1970s and played with Welsh once more in the early 1980s before retiring due to failing health after being incapacitated and confined to wheelchair. He worked frequently at London's PizzaExpress Jazz Club until his death in 1986. He died in Weybridge, Surrey aged 62.

He is best remembered for his long association with the Alex Welsh band and, as such, became a top pianist in both modern jazz and trad jazz musical settings.[2]
