He began playing piano on his own as a boy, and toured with a vaudeville act in the late 1930s. Earl played with the Army Air Corps service band during World War II, and afterwards entered Berklee College of Music (then called Schillinger House) on the GI Bill in 1953 to study music. After graduating in 1956, he became a mainstay of the Boston jazz scene in the days of the Hi-Hat Club, Connolly's, and Wally's Paradise. Earl played shows with jazz legends such as Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Billie Holiday, and Sonny Stitt. He joined the Berklee faculty in 1961. Throughout the years, Earl taught hundreds of piano students - among them Bruce Hornsby and Cyrus Chestnut. Many of his other students have enjoyed distinguished careers and several are current Berklee faculty members. Earl taught until shortly before his passing on January 16th, 2002.
