inklesspw I just get a kick out of Lawrence's clarity of expression. It's contagious: this isn't his working band, but it's as refined and understated in its take on the classic New York hard-bop sound as his working band is. Blues, swing, grace on changes. It's all good. Favorite track: Black Bottom's Up.

about

Josh Lawrence’s skillfully efficient trumpet stylings prompt audiences to punctual engagement with the enjoyable message of "Call Time." Employing a wide palette of tones and sounds, Lawrence is a gifted instrumentalist who makes a clear statement of purpose with his stunning musicianship and stalwart leadership on his fourth album for Posi-Tone. Lawrence's thoughtful melodicism shines throughout the session with the able assistance of some of the hippest cats on the scene today, including the collective genius of bassist Boris Kozlov and pianist Art Hirahara, the drumming excellence of Jason Tiemann, and scintillating sounds of saxophone sensation Willie Morris. With this latest release, Lawrence not only confirms his status as one of the biggest rising stars in jazz today, but also shows that he is clearly a visionary musical artist for jazz fans to mark time by for years to come.

Yes,yes,yes! I've been waiting for Dave to do this again...two brilliant runs by DDQ and Keystone were documented on Greenleaf back in the day; they were groundbreaking...recorded and released within 24 hours for each set...they were stellar performances and I play them again and again. With absolutely no chance of ever being there, this is the closest i'll ever be to 'being there'...so excited I may need to lay down in a darkened room for a while! John Cratchley
