LANCE HAYWARD
Lance Hayward (17 June 1916-9 November 1991) was a blind jazz pianist who was born in Bermuda. He was often the accompanist of choice for Carmen McRae, Marvin Gaye and others when they performed on the island.
As his career developed as a jazz pianist, as well as an arranger, Hayward became the most sought-after pianist on the island, called to play for visiting singers. Hayward also formed an all-male chorus, the Mu-En Chorale.
In 1966, Hayward moved permanently to New York. There, the many jazz clubs at which he appeared included West Boondock, Jacques-in-the-Village and the Village Corner, where he performed regularly for 16 years. He formed his own chorus, the Lance Hayward Singers, performing a wide variety of music, from Bach to Duke Ellington.
