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.
