Biography
Richard Hawdon (August 27, 1927 – June 23, 2009), sometimes billed as Dick or Dickie Hawdon, was a British jazz musician and a pioneer of jazz music education in the United Kingdom. Beginning his career in his hometown of Leeds as a trumpeter, Hawdon played with many jazz ensembles, eventually leading his own quintet playing the double bass. Becoming one of the first instructors of jazz as an academic, Hawdon helped assemble first faculty members for what is now known as the Leeds Conservatoire.
