The Piers Lawrence Quartet’s debut album “Stolen Momentsâ€, is the culmination of a long time dream of New York native and jazz guitarist Piers Lawrence. A self published recording on his own label (Jazznet Media), Lawrence is also producer and host of “Manhattan Jazz,†an internet radio show on www.tribecaradio.net.
Stolen Moments includes three original tunes but starts off with the boppin’ Sonny Rollins score Pent-Up House. Lawrence then takes us through Samba Christina, and into Stolen Moments. The band starts to really swing on Charlie Parker’s standard Donna Lee, and hums along through Lawrence’s Dimanche,†before ending on John Pastorius’s Reza.
This is a straight up jazz record that is sure to entertain and engage it’s listener.
His quartet is comprised of pianist Chuk Fowler, bassist, Jim Hankins and Sir Earl Grice manning the drums.
