JOHN HYDE

I am a Calgary, Alberta, Canada bass player. I play a 1972 Fender Precision and a 300 year old Italian bass. I currently teach atMount Royal College in the Conservatory in the Jazz Studies program as well as the diploma program in the Jazz/Contemporary stream.I have played on many CD's including Cindy Church's Love On The Range , and Karl Roth's "Everybody Want's to be a Cat".

Performance credits include: Tommy Banks, Marion McPartland, Christian Escoudier, New Works Calgary, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, the Cold Club of Canada and many others.

I have a strong interest in computers used in educational applications. I work in Macromedia's Authorware to develop courseware in jazz theory and improvisation.
