Trumpet player Josh Lawrence examines the scene
from a whole new perspective on "Contrast,” his second
release for Posi-Tone. Using both his instrument
and his skills as a bandleader, Lawrence succeeds in
making another inspired statement by exploring several
different musical avenues with his "Color Theory"
project. Also featured on the record are the colors
and sounds of alto saxophonist Caleb Curtis, trombonist
David Gibson pianists Orrin Evans and Zaccai
Curtis, bassist Luques Curtis, and drummer Anwar
Marshall. The session is elegantly lyrical and clearly
suggestive of a modern jazz sensibility. With an amazing
combination of talents, brilliant performances, and
an evocative program of new original compositions,
"Contrast" is sure to bring bright moments of intense
delight to serious listeners and jazz fans everywhere.
