Harvey William Mason (born February 22, 1947) is an American jazz musician and record producer. He has worked with many jazz and fusion artists, including Bob James, Chick Corea, The Brecker Brothers, Lee Ritenour, Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and almost all the Mizell Brothers productions with Donald Byrd, Johnny Hammond, Bobbi Humphrey and Gary Bartz. He is featured on George Benson's 1976 album Breezin'. His duet on drums with percussionist Ralph MacDonald - on Benson's hit "On Broadway" is a great example of his style. Harvey is also the percussionist for the contemporary jazz group Fourplay, which includes keyboardist Bob James, guitarist Chuck Loeb, and bassist Nathan East.
Starting in the 1970s, Mason has released a series of albums, the early ones on Arista Records, which he also produced. In 1979, he enjoyed the hit single "Groovin' You", a disco-stomping tune, from the album of the same name. It was sampled by house music producer Gusto in his 1995 hit single "Disco's Revenge".
Mason is the father of Harvey Mason, Jr.
