SANTA FE MUSIC COLLECTIVE Presents

The “Tenor Titan” is back. The man who has traveled the world more times than most of us have had birthdays is back in town and we’re taking advantage of the opportunity to bring him to UNIT B once again and thrill us all with his unmistakable Hard Bop style, while at the same time delivering a ballad that will bring tears to your eyes. Reminiscent of Gene Ammons and Dexter Gordon, with the sensitivity of Stan Getz, New Mexico’s multi Grammy award winner has garnered a reputation as “One of the best In Jazz today”. It’s no wonder his playing has been featured with Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughn, Nancy Wilson, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Wild Bill Davis, and many more. He has performed in major concert halls and jazz clubs throughout the world and played for six presidents ….. ”There is nothing forced about Doug’s playing. He is, as they say, the real thing.” - Dan Morgenstern, Editor DOWNBEAT.  “Doug Lawrence is a natural, like Lester Young.” - Buck Clayton, Jazz legend, New York Times.

With a list of credits too numerous to mention, the only way to appreciate this jazz master’s mega talent is to come out and hear it. As someone much wiser than I once said, “let the music speak for itself.” 

On June 20th, Doug Lawrence will appear in concert at UNIT B, along with Michael Anthony - Guitar, Terry Burns - Bass, and John Trentacosta - Drums. Doug’s concerts always sell out quickly, so we recommend that you get your tickets early.
