Hubert Laws Quintet at Bellevue Jazz Festival
Winner of the 2011 NEA Jazz Masters Award, the nation's highest honor in this distinctly American music, and one of the few to specialize in the flute, Hubert Laws is the premier musician on the instrument in jazz. In three decades of playing, he has also mastered pop, rhythm-and-blues, and classical genres.
He was selected the No. 1 flutist in Down Beat's readers' polls ten years in a row and was the critic's choice for seven consecutive years. As a classical performer, he has appeared as a soloist with the New York Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta, with the orchestras of Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Cleveland, Amsterdam, Japan, Detroit, and with the Stanford String Quartet. He has given annual performances at Carnegie Hall, and has performed sold out performances in the Hollywood Bowl with fellow flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal.
There are 20 albums in Mr. Laws' discography for such record companies as: Atlantic, CBS, CTI, including My Time Will Come, and Storm Then The Calm for the Music Masters record label. His recordings have won three Grammy nominations.
Current members of the Hubert Laws Quintet include: David Budway (Acoustic Piano), who is deeply rooted in many styles and is a present day jazz pioneer; John Leftwich (Bass), a contributor to tour and record while also composing music for television and film; Ralph Penland (Drums), who has been with Hubert Laws since 1988, including three recordings; Rob Mullins (Synth Keyboard), a session musician who has built his musical reputation with a solid string of releases in the jazz field over the last 15 years.
