Paul Bascomb (February 12, 1912 – December 2, 1986)[1] was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, noted for his extended tenure with Erskine Hawkins.[1] He is a 1979 inductee of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame.

Career
Bascomb was a founding member of the Bama State Collegians, which was led by Erskine Hawkins and eventually became his big band.[1] Bascomb's brother Dud played in this ensemble.[1] Bascomb remained in this ensemble until 1944, aside from a brief interval in 1938 and 1939, where he played in Count Basie's orchestra after Herschel Evans's death.[1] From 1944 to 1947 he and Dud co-led a septet which evolved into a big band.[1] He recorded for States Records in 1952; these sides were reissued by Delmark Records in the 1970s. From 1953 to 1955, he recorded for Parrot Records, and was active as a performer nearly up until the time of his death.
