Vocal Artist. Trombonist. Composer.
Jazz singing with a horn player’s heart. Don Laws treats the voice the way a horn player treats a solo — in the line of Eddie Jefferson and King Pleasure, with the ballad depth of Johnny Hartman and Nat King Cole and the forward motion of Al Jarreau. Spontaneity and joy are the point: music that invites the listener in, then takes flight.
In the studio
Can We Play? — a new album of original jazz vocal music with an ensemble of Toronto’s finest, produced by Eddie Bullen. Original songs and reimagined standards, built around melody, storytelling, and the lyrical improvisation that is Don’s signature. News and release details to come.
