More Info
 Almost a year of workshopping launches the Kim Lawson Trio into their debut album Alive And Kicking. The album delivers a set of meticulous compositions each piece having its own identity, being tightly framed and concise yet with space built-in for improvisation and the expression of each member of the trio. Although drawing from jazz, classical, funk and various other sources, the trio succeeds completely in having its own sound.
"The first time I heard Kim I was playing with him at an impromptu jam at someone’s house in early 2007. Immediately dug his natural musicality, great time feel, hip melodic ideas, soulful sound and maybe most importantly – a sense of when to flex his chops and when not to.” – Steve Hunter
Saxophonist Kim Lawson, originally from Cairns, is quickly establishing a reputation for his tenacious and inventive improvising and huge sound. Kim completed his BMus at the Sydney Conservatorium in 2004, where he studied with Australian jazz icons such as Dale Barlow, Judy Bailey, Dave Panichi and Craig Scott.Kim has been playing recording and touring in and around Sydney for over 9 years in a number of musical settings ranging from swinging jazz, Latin, and hard hitting funk ensembles to 18 piece big bands. Some of these groups include Steve Hunter's Nine Lives Project, The Hang, Crusty Suite Case Band, Rastawookie, The Turbs, Chuck Yates Trio, The Subterraneans and The Cold Ride Home. Since leaving the Con, Kim has collaborated with many of Sydney’s top musicians in a diverse range of music. |
