Biography

Arthur Edgehill (born July 21, 1926, originally spelled Edghill) is an American hard bop jazz drummer active in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, appearing on several of the Prestige recordings recorded at the successive Van Gelder Studios, in Hackensack and Englewood Cliffs, including Mal Waldron's debut album, Mal-1 (1956), but especially with Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Shirley Scott.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, United States, his first professional work was touring with Mercer Ellington in 1948, and in 1953 he toured with Ben Webster. He played with Kenny Dorham's Jazz Prophets in 1956 and with Gigi Gryce and in 1957-58 toured with Dinah Washington.

He was a member of Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis' quartet with George Duvivier and/or Wendell Marshall, and Shirley Scott, and appears on several of Scott's recordings, including her debut album, Great Scott! (1958), as well as on Very Saxy (1959), featuring Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Buddy Tate, Coleman Hawkins, and Arnett Cobb on tenors, an album recorded shortly after Blow Arnett, Blow (1959).

As well as appearing on recordings with the above line-ups, he also played in quartets led by Horace Silver, including one featuring Cecil Payne, in 1954, and at Minton's with Hank Mobley and Doug Watkins, a line-up that also jammed on one occasion with Charlie Parker and Annie Laurie.
