about this album
Distressed over the fact that some people find jazz to be boring, Mr Lawrence set out to bring a more contemporary flare to the genre. His mission was to perk up the ears of people who might enjoy jazz a little more if it were placed in a different setting. Injecting more of a Hip Hop sound might do the trick. In a notable change from his 2004 " Mainstream" Jazz quintet release, The Jteam: Introducing the jteam, Mr Lawrence released the 2009 " Demo" as a fresh perspective in the quest to bend the ears of the non-jazz lovers. " If I could make a few heads bop, I know I'm off to a good start." A full length offering is currently in the works. It's the next step towards his quest to find the perfect splice of contemporary jazz and beat heavy hip hop sounds. Keyboardist/Composer, Jeffrey Scott Lawrence, hails from Teaneck, NJ. He started playing Piano at age 10 and by his early teens was playing in a variety of local bands and composing his own music. He went on to study with renowned Jazz pianist Kenny Baron at Rutgers University(New Brunswick,NJ) which is were he earned his BA in music. He has played with Jimmy Heath, Dave Leibman, Terence Blanchard, Frank Lacy, Micheal Phillip Mossman, Peter Bernstien, Ralph Peterson and others.
