Later life and career[]

In the early 1940s he played with Milt Larkin's band,[3] as well as with the Duke Ellington[4] and Jimmie Lunceford[5] orchestras.[6]

In 1952, Marshall played with a New York-based quintet led by Ben Webster, with Harold Baker, Cyril Hines, and Bill Pemberton.[7] In 1960 he appeared on Al Sears' Swing's the Thing, with Don Abney, and Wendell Marshall.[8] Marshall continued to record until at least 1989.[2] He died in Teaneck, New Jersey, on June 1, 1992.[1]
