Ernest “Khabeer” Dawkins is an American jazz saxophonist, principally active in free jazz and post-bop. He was a neighbor of Anthony Braxton as a child. During the ’70s, he began studying with members of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM), such as Joseph Jarman and Chico Freeman. He worked with Ed Wilkerson, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble and Douglas Ewart before founding his own New Horizons Ensemble, which plays regularly in Chicago as well as at jazz festivals and on tour in Europe. He has several releases out on the Delmark and Silkheart labels.
