I see there are many people who have studied with him but who did he study with? I can't find a biography of him online.

Hasty studied with (among other teachers) Bonade, McLane and Arthur Christmann.
The ICA did a tribute to, and an interview with Hasty in <i>The Clarinet</i> Volume 27 Number 2 (March 2000)...GBK

I went to college in little old Kingsville, Texas, where I majored in music for a year and didn't take it very seriously. I stayed with private lessons for awhile after I changed my major, but my heart belonged to my new major (journalism). Anyway, my teacher told me I should come to a master class being given on a particular Saturday. I was 20, had a new girlfriend, and just couldn't bear the thought of tearing myself away from her to hear some guy I'd never heard of named Stanley Hasty talk about the clarinet. But I went, and I don't remember a thing (a slam against idiot ME and not Mr. Hasty).
Man, do I wish I didn't have my head so far up my backside in those days. I might've learned something.e

I went to a Hasty master class at a ClarinetFest several years ago.
Many master class presenters make it as much (or even more) for the benefit of the audience as the player. Hasty didn't. He was very quiet. No capering around, no operatic gestures -- just straight-to-the-point analysis of what the player is doing and how to do it better.
Each player ended up playing much better, but you had to listen hard, rather than just sit back and be impressed.
Best regards.

Any recordings?

Mr. Hasty was the Clarinet Professor at Eastman for many, many yrs.
He was, also for that equal amount of time, the principal clarinetist in the Rochester Philharmonic. Upon his retirement, the late Peter Hadcock of teh BSO, replaced him in that teaching capacity.
As an aside, in the early 60's, he selected one of his students to be the 2sd clarinetist, a young froshman, Mr. Gene Zorro wo, as a HS student was in the Seattle SO. Gene was at Eastman at the same time as Peter Hadcock and Larry Combs. Gene went on to a teaching career and rarely played. He held Mr. Hasty in the highest esteem as a player, teacher and gentleman.

I have a recording of Hasty playing in an Eastman faculty woodwind quintet. I don't think he made any solo recordings, but I would be delighted to find out otherwise.
He played a bit in the masterclass I went to, and his tone was very sweet and round, and slightly covered.
Best regards.

Hi Ken, is there any way you'd be able to share that recording with me? I'm looking for sound examples of his playing to put together for a class project. It would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Christine

Elizabeth Marie Gunlogson did her dissertation at Florida State University on "Stanley Hasty: His Life and Teaching." Google that title and you can read it online.

I was a student of Stanley Hasty from 1965-69. I have been teaching clarinet since then and playing professionally. I think of him pedagogically on a daily basis. He was a phenomenal teacher and player . He studied As a student at Eastman in the 1940's with Rufus Arey. His other great mentor was Ralph McClane . Dr. Gunlogson's Thesis documents his life and has a long section describing his pedagogy. There are brief interviews with many of his former students including Larry Combs, Frank Kowalsky, Tom Martin, and Elisa Ludwig Verdehr, and others. I consider myself supremely blessed to be in his presence on a weekly basis for those years.
