Timeline

1951

Dennis Irwin (November 28, 1951 in Birmingham, Alabama - March 10, 2008) was an American jazz double bassist.

He toured and recorded with John Scofield and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra among others, and played on over 500 albums.

Irwin attended North Texas State University with Norman Wisdom, studying classical music.

Although he started out playing alto sax and clarinet (achieving first chair All State clarinet while at Westchester High School in Houston) he soon switched to the bass and joined the university's "Two O'Clock Lab Band."

After working with pianist Red Garland in Dallas, Irwin moved to New York.

1975

There he played with Charles Brackeen, and later landed his first steady gig in trumpeter Ted Curson's group in 1975.

Influences include bassists Al Jackson Sr. and Eddie Jones.

1976

Irwin's first major recording session was in New York City on May 20 & 21, 1976, with Brazilian pianist Dom Salvador, My Family (for Muse Records).

1977

Beginning in 1977, Irwin played with Art Blakey for three years.

The Jazz Messengers recorded several of Irwin’s compositions including "Kamal."

Irwin also worked with Chet Baker, Mel Lewis, Joe Lovano, Stan Getz, Johnny Griffin and Horace Silver as well as with Brazilian musicians Duduca Fonseca and Portinho.

1992

From 1992 to 1995, Irwin played with guitarist John Scofield.

He can be heard on his Blue Note recordings What We Do, Hand Jive and Groove Elation.

His battle with liver cancer, which was ultimately fatal, raised awareness of jazz musicians without medical insurance.

The Jazz Foundation of America and Englewood Hospital and Medical Center created the Dennis Irwin Memorial Fund to pay for cancer screenings for uninsured jazz and blues musicians.

2008

Irwin died in Manhattan on March 10, 2008, the same day as a Jazz at Lincoln Center benefit concert in his honor featuring performances by Wynton Marsalis, Tony Bennett, and Jon Hendricks, in addition to Lovano and Scofield.

His partner was singer Aria Hendricks, daughter of Jon Hendricks.

His son, Michael Irwin, is a trumpet player in New York City.
