Next up is Ronnie Laws, distinguished brother of master flautist, Hubert Laws. Has not often lent his talents to the jazz world, sticking to R&B and adult/urban contemporary--but doing it very, very well. One of the "go-to" sax guys. He's also a fine singer, earlier on. NOTE: his 1st three albums (on Blue Note) were straight-up jazz/funk affairs; he found his metier later. 22 recordings since '75 and been a sideman for everybody important. Here's the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Laws and his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ronnie-La...7329024394

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImWHXk72EIo << There's such a difference between live and recorded versions--this, folks, is, JAZZ--not the sodden, over-rehearsed, no-dynamics versions on disc. << Nice "voicing" on the keys. << it's criminal how this cuts off at the end. I'd go to this and enjoy it immensely, then go home and use the CDs for skeet-shooting...Just sayin'...
