Hofmann has 12 recordings as a leader\, and is recognized as one of the premiere Jazz Flutists in the world.  Alto sax great Phil Woods said\, “along with Hubert Laws\, Holly is frankly the best jazz flute player today.”  She has become the standard by which jazz flute is judged. \nPianist\, composer\, and arranger Mike Wofford\, musical partner and husband of flutist Holly Hofmann\, began playing the piano at the age of 7. Wofford learned harmonic creativity over technique from his piano teacher Bill Franks\, who was an admirer of pianist Teddy Wilson.  Primarily self taught\, Wofford was influenced by Art Tatum\, Thelonious Monk and Horace Silver.  Mike’s first recording was with Slim Gaillard in 1961\, and then he joined Howard Rumsey’s Lighthouse All-Stars. In 1962\, Wofford joined Shorty Rogers and his Giants\, recorded with Mel Torme\, and was active in the L.A.

Following that\, Marshall formed his own quintet and played in the D.C. area till the late 70’s.  Hawkins next joined “vocalese” innovator Eddie Jefferson\, and through associations was chosen to tour internationally with saxophonist Richie Cole.  Following in the 90’s\, Marshall collaborated with jazz artists like Joe Henderson\, Freddie Hubbard\, Pharaoh Sanders\, the Manhattan Transfer\, and other jazz greats.  In 1978\, Hawkins moved to Idyllwild to be a part of the famed Idyllwild High School of the Arts.  In 1986\, Marshall founded the Idyllwild Arts Academy as head of the Jazz department\, and The Idyllwild Arts Jazz Program earned top honors at the prestigious Berklee School of Music High School Jazz Festival.  Marshall has taught jazz as an art form and has mentored 100’s of young talented people whom he calls “his Kids”.  Hawkins has raised scholarship funds for deserving young musicians who could not afford private high schools for the arts. In 1994\, Marshall co-founded the successful Jazz in the Pines Festival\, and has been its’ musical director for over 20 years.  Deeply committed to teaching and\nexposing school children to the unique American art form of Jazz\, Hawkins\, in 2002\, organized the Seahawk Modern Jazz Orchestra\, that brings jazz and educational programs to elementary and secondary schools.

One of them is Charlie Shoemake.” Jazz writer Leonard Feather on Charlie Shoemake\, “Arguably the most successful teacher of jazz improvisation in Southern California history\, Shoemake is also a highly charged mallet man capable of blistering solos off the metronome markings.” Charlie Shoemake began his piano studies at the age of 6\, and was excellent at both music and sports through his school years. Charlie was an all-city baseball player and scouted by the Saint Louis Cardinals. Charlie attended Southern Methodist University\, and majored in piano and played baseball\, but by 1956 decided to pursue music moving from Texas to LA and embarked on a career in jazz music.
