Trumpeter Josh Lawrence leads the classic jazz quintet configuration of trumpet, tenor, piano. bass, and drums on Measured Response, his sixth album as a leader on Posi-Tone. He has co-led two with the Fresh Cut Orchestra on Ropeadope and has received three Grammy nominations, most notably with Orrin Evans’ Captain Black Big Band. Last time out we informed you that he was appointed Director of Jazz Studies at Interlochen Center for the Arts, but he has now transitioned to his native Philadelphia as Manager of Jazz Education Programs with Ensemble Arts Philly, the new presenting brand of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The album centers on his journey from northern Michigan to his familiar home turf. In this effort he teams with Posi-Tone stalwarts – tenorist Diego Rivera, pianist Art Hirahara, and drummer Rudy Royston. The bassist is Luques Curtis, with whom Royston has often teamed. With two exceptions, these are all Lawrence compositions, with one from Charlie Haden and another from John Coltrane.

"On Burn To Grow the guitarist continues what his previous two album releases already hinted at: Josh Smith strives for musical diversity while keeping the focus of his music on the blues. What makes contemporaries such as Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes so strong also enhances the sound of the guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer from L.A. Intricate horn arrangements mark some of the soul- and jazz-inspired songs on the new recording, enhancing his vocal skills which have continued to develop over the years.

Josh Rouse has recorded an album of original holiday songs, which all feel like a classic 60s jazz-influenced holiday album (think Vince Guaraldi, A Charlie Brown Christmas). This music should appeal to two audiences: Josh Rouse fans and holiday music fans. The First Edition release,on red vinyl, includes a bonus 12"featuring 3 Christmas classics performed acoustically + 3 demo versions of songs from the album.

The making of the HARMONY album and the title have been very cathartic for Josh. He wanted to go back to basics, and interpret songs that make him feel good, are a blast to sing, and most importantly, are songs that fans have asked for. Josh has performed many of them on the road and in other settings in the past few years.
