Gillespie hired him and shortly thereafter moved him to piano; he remained a member of Gillespie''s ensemble until 1954, and during that time recorded a date in France as a trio session leader.Following his tenure with Gillespie, Legge moved to New York City and freelanced there. He played in Johnny Richards''s orchestra, and did sessions with Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, Joe Roland, Bill Hardman, Pepper Adams, Jimmy Knepper, and Jimmy Cleveland. Legge was one of three pianists recording as a member of the variously staffed Gryce/Byrd Jazz Lab Quintets in 1957 and appeared on more than 50 recordings before retiring to Buffalo in 1959. He died in 1963 at the age of 29.
