About Edwin Livingston
Livingston’s official biography traces a path from Dallas through Austin and New Orleans to his current Los Angeles base. It documents performance and recording work with artists including Elvin Jones, the Marsalis family, The Headhunters, John Beasley’s MONK’estra, and Lado B Brazilian Project.[1]
USC Thornton identifies Livingston as a Jazz Studies adjunct instructor teaching bass and small ensembles. His artist biography also documents a CalArts faculty role and an MFA in Performer-Composer studies from that institution.[2][1]
Livingston’s official site identifies The Edwin Livingston Group and Transitions as leader projects, while his artist-run Bandcamp presents a separate collection of original tracks. These first-party sources distinguish his own catalog from his extensive sideman and studio credits.[1][3]
