Saxophonist Azar Lawrence approaches music with spiritual reverence. To him, “music is of a pure nature all around us and within us…throughout the universe, every atom everywhere produces a tone whether we can hear it or not…musicians dedicate our lives to a certain daily practice in order to try to produce the purest vibration tones.” Over the course of his career, which began in his teens, Lawrence has performed with such mainstays as McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Frank Zappa, Miles Davis, and Earth, Wind & Fire. With his Quintet, performing tonight, Lawrence focuses on powerful original music composed by himself and several of his bandmates. We’ve been awaiting their return to Dizzy’s since the group’s last sold-out run in 2014. Reserve a seat now to experience the Azar Lawrence Quintet in person.
