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).
