Azar Lawrence showed a great deal of potential during his period with McCoy Tyner's Quartet (1973-1977), but has not made that strong an impression since. A fine tenor and soprano saxophonist (which he took up in 1970 and 1972 after a few years playing alto), Lawrence performed with Horace Tapscott in Los Angeles. He toured Europe with Clark Terry in 1970 and in 1973, joined Elvin Jones' band. After three months, Lawrence decided to switch to Tyner's group and he recorded several impressive albums (on Milestone) while a sideman with the great pianist. Azar Lawrence also recorded three albums as a leader for Prestige during 1974-1976, but has not had further opportunities to head sessions and has maintained a low profile ever since. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Summer Solstice features the jazz dance classic "Novo Ano", a tune that Toshio Matsuura treated to a fine remix on the Soul Source compilation Remixed Fevers in 2005. I lost my copy of Lawrence's People Moving some years ago and if someone could tell me if its been posted somewhere, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks for this one :)
awasome album, thanks!
please can you do some remarks about format, why aiff?
reza,
I believe that the album Bacoso posted was Bridge Into The New Age. Been looking for People Moving for ages and it seems very hard to find! By The way; love the Jeremy Steig posts! I got a thing for the jazz flute. Been thinking of posting Monium myself, but you beat me to it! Maybe I'll post Temple Of Birth instead.
krotzilla,
I'm relatively new to this whole vinyl ripping thing. I'm using the Griffin imic and apparently you can choose between aiff and wav. Maybe aiff is not the best format?
sorry my mistake I'll up people moving for you when time allows ...
as to your file format i think most people wont wait the 3 hours to DL in aiff or wav , if your into top quality convert files to ogg or flac or as next best to 320 mp3s :)
People Moving is up and posted :)
Great post -- I'd love to hear this. If you can possibly repost in some form other than aiff, I'd be eternally grateful. I'm not on a Mac and I just can't do anything with aiff -- can't convert them, can't play them. Thanks again. Outstanding site you've got!
Don't have a problem playing aiffs on windows media player meself.
The handiest way to get round the aiff format though is to change the files extension from '.aiff' to '.wav'. Just type it in (no conversion necessary)& it should play then on a pc/mp3 player etc no bother. I use both Macs & pcs and have to do this often when transferring all sorts of files.
aiff is the Mac equivalent of pc's .wav - usually uncompressed quality audio and absolutely bloody massive files - they should come with a health warning Ratty-ie this is a BIG one folks!
