Grammy Award winning jazz tenor titan with the Count Basie Orchestra for more than twenty five years, Doug Lawrence will be featured in a concert at Santa Fe’s newest hotspot for jazz, UNIT B by Chocolate Maven. Doug has played and recorded 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 more important than I once said, “let the music speak for itself.” 

For this performance Doug will be accompanied by Bevan Manson – piano, Terry Burns – bass, and John Trentacosta – drums. This concert will sell out very quickly, so we recommend that you buy your tickets early.
