Details:
Matt Lawson, an award-winning trumpeter from Maine, makes his debut CD, recording with some of the Midwest's top jazz performers: Indianapolis pianist Steve Allee, and Louisvillians Tyrone Wheeler on bass, Jacob Duncan on alto sax, and Jason Tiemann on drums. Lawson, who won the 1993 National Jazz Trumpet competition, swings his way through several original compositions and leads the group in some very tasty arrangements of tunes by Benny Golson, Wayne Shorter, Lenny Tristano, Gary Pack and Leonard Bernstein. Give a listen to this up-and-coming jazz artist and you'll be looking for places to catch him in person!
