Azar Lawrence: One of the only remaining Prestige artists to still be actively touring and recording, the acclaimed saxophonist has performed as a sideman to many of jazz’s greats, including Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw, and McCoy Tyner. The artist also recorded several albums as a leader, including three groundbreaking titles on Prestige: Bridge Into the New Age (1974), Summer Solstice (1975) and People Moving (1976). Craft’s Jazz Dispensary imprint will be reissuing Summer Solstice on vinyl for the first time on November 15th as part of the Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series.
ABOUT THE PRESTIGE 70 PODCAST & VIDEO SERIES
Prestige 70 Podcast features intimate conversations between acclaimed musicians, composers, and producers, and Scott Goldman-who, as the longtime moderator of the GRAMMY® Museum Public Programs Series, has interviewed hundreds of iconic figures in music. Through the lens of contemporary artists including Poncho Sanchez, Miles Mosley, Azar Lawrence and Chick Corea, Prestige 70 not only looks back at the musicians and recordings that made the label so important but also looks to the future, as a new generation continues the tradition of redefining and pushing the boundaries of jazz.
