Description
Don't let the list of stellar sideman gigs (with Elvin Jones, Miles Davis,
Freddie Hubbard, McCoy Tyner, Woody Shaw et al.) make you overlook
the solo work of saxophonist Azar Lawrence; for over 45 years he has recorded a string of spiritual 'n' soulful jazz albums that come closer to the ethos and aesthetic of John Coltrane than probably any of Lawrence's contemporaries. Recorded for the legendary Prestige label in 1976, People Moving is his third solo album, and it's one of his best; it features such luminaries as Lee Ritenour, Patrice Rushen, Harvey Mason, and Mtume on a soaring set of funky tunes produced by a young Skip Scarborough, who would go on to helm recordings by Bobbie Humphrey, Con Funk Shun, and Phyllis Hyman among others. First vinyl reissue!
