Marshall Hawkins (musician)

Marshall Hawkins (born July 14, 1939) is a jazz musician and teacher.[1] He grew up in Washington DC.[2]

He is possibly best known for being one of several bassists who took over from Ron Carter when the latter left Miles Davis' so-called Second Great Quintet.[3] Hawkins played with Miles Davis, along with Herbie Hancock and drummer Tony Williams. More recently, Hawkins has been part of the West Coast version of the Harry Pickens Trio, featuring Louisville jazz pianist, with Harold Mason on drums.

Hawkins later taught at the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts (ISOMATA), now Idyllwild Arts Academy, and currently is head of the Jazz Program.

Discography
gollark: The main thing is the swappable ports, which are kind of cool but also a horrible hack.
gollark: I'm not sure Framework is much of an innovation since it's basically as tightly integrated as all other laptops.
gollark: I was not comparing to Apple specifically.
gollark: I am currently using a moderately old gaming laptop I bought very cheaply used, since it's slightly more repairable than alternatives and quite performant.
gollark: Since their SoCs are actually really very good now, my main objection is that the hardware is unrepairable and MacOS is bad.
