" There is nothing forced about Doug's playing: It is, as they say, the real thing."
- Dan Morgenstern, Director of the Jazz Institute, former Editor of Downbeat

"Think of Coleman Hawkins, Louis Armstrong, Ben Webster, Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra. They were able to touch our collective soul with their extraordinary sense of phrasing. Tenor man Doug Lawrence has got it. His phrasing is fluid, relaxed, conversational and charming, just like his easy going, seductive Southern drawl." - Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times Magazine
Born October 11th, 1956 in Lake Charles, Louisiana, saxophonist Doug Lawrence spent over 25 years as a working musician based in New York City. Among the artists he has performed and recorded with include - Benny Goodman, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Jimmy Cobb, Frank Wess, Buck Clayton, Billy Eckstine, Dakota Staton, Wild Bill Davis, Benny Carter, Bobby Short, Eddie Durham, Stevie Wonder, Diane Schuur, Patti Austin, The Smithsonian Masterworks Orchestra, Dennis Mackrel's Manhattan Symphony Jazz Orchestra, George Bensen, Lizz Wright, Marlena Shaw, Nneenna Freelon, Ledisi and many others.
Doug has performed on six continents at virtually every major concert hall, jazz club and jazz festival in the world, including - Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center, Royal Albert Hall, The Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, The Dewan Fhilharmonik Petronis Concert Hall in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore's Esplanade Concert Hall, The Blue Notes in Japan, Italy and New York, The Village Vangaurd, Blues Alley, Birdland, The North Sea Jazz Festival, Umbria Jazz Festival, Newport, Chicago, Montreal, New Orleans, New York, Playboy and Nice Jazz Festivals, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and many more. Doug has also performed for 5 American Presidents as well as the Queen of England and the Royal Families of Monaco, Sweden and Spain.
As a featured soloist with the 17-time Grammy-winning World Famous Count Basie Orchestra, Doug has toured the world extensively. The Basie band has no parallel in jazz. They have won more awards, polls and Grammys than any other jazz band in history. The chair Doug fills (lead tenor) has been inhabited by a virtual "who's who" of jazz tenor saxophonists. They include - Lester Young, Hershel Evans, Don Byas, Eli "Lucky" Thompson, Bud Johnson, Buddy Tate, Illinois Jacquet, Wardell Gray, Paul Quinechette, Frank Wess, Frank Foster, Billy Mitchell, Sal Nistico, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Jimmy Forrest and Kenny Hing.
Doug has appeared on over 100 recordings including four critically acclaimed recordings of his own - "Soul Carnival" (#3 USA 2/98, Top 10 for 14 weeks, Gavin Jazz Radio Report), "High Heel Sneakers" (#11 USA 2/99, Top 20 for 10 weeks, Gavin Jazz Radio Report), the extraordinarily popular "Big Band Swing" and "Street Wise" on the Alltribe label. Recent recordings featuring Doug include CD's with such venerable artists as Frank Wess, Hank Jones, Curtis Fuller, The Count Basie Orchestra, Clyde Stubblefield, Jamie Cullum, Tony Bennett and others.
In 2009 Doug appeared in the Atlanta, Georgia opening of the Broadway Show "Come Fly Away" as the featured tenor saxophone soloist. This show, based on the music of Frank Sinatra and the choreography of Twyla Tharp, featured an all-star big band performing on stage. In 2010 the show debuted at the Marquis Theatre on Broadway in New York City, with Doug making occasional appearances as featured soloist.
Doug's talent and unique career have given rise to numerous engagements as clinician, lecturer and guest performer with universities and high schools, both nationwide and abroad. His services in the academic world are in demand and continue to increase yearly.

REVIEWS
"There's tone, facility, repertoire, choice of notes. After that it all comes down to phrasing. Think of Coleman Hawkins, Louis Armstrong, Ben Webster, Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra. They were able to touch our collective soul with their extraordinary sense of phrasing. Tenor man Doug Lawrence has got it. His phrasing is fluid, relaxed, conversational and charming, just like his easy going, seductive Southern drawl."
Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times
"I've been a fan of Doug Lawrence since a night in 1983 when he uncurled his tall lanky frame from Loren Schoenberg's sax section to play a solo that swung and told a story from first note to last. It was clear he had that something special that is the mark of a true jazz musician. Today, as then, there's nothing forced about Doug's playing: It is, as they say, the real thing."
- Dan Morgenstern, Former Editor of DownBeat, Head of the Institute Of Jazz at Rutgers University
"The Count Basie Orchestra exploded with their very first number at the Dewan Filharmonik Hall in Kuala Lumpur last night. Largely made up of younger players with a few veterans from Count's day, this modern band still retains a hard-swinging, riff-oriented quality and a couple of star soloists, including the famous drummer Butch Miles. It became clear that tenor saxophonist Doug Lawrence was the real star soloist here - largely because of all the younger musicians in the band he seemed most comfortable within the stylistic setting. This is not to detract from his magnificence as a musician - his sound and phrasing are muscular but elegant and his solos are never in a hurry, but always exciting. No small feat to be outstanding in a band this good."
- Greg Lyons, Malaysian Arts Scene
August 28th, 2006 -"Battle of the Bands" - Chicago Jazz Orchestra vs Count Basie Orchestra - "Tenor saxophonist Doug Lawrence proved invincible, his technique so fluid and his sound so huge as to dwarf everyone playing near him."
- Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune 8/29/06
- Howard Mandel, DownBeat
"A Commanding, First Rate Tenor Saxophonist!"
- John Wilson, New York Times
"Like a river, Doug Lawrence's big sound rushes effortlessly, naturally, shifting from smooth to raucous. His tone is always rich in a Dexter Gordon way."
- David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal
"Scott Hamilton and Doug Lawrence underscore the fact that not all the swinging tenor saxophonists are playing with the proverbial big band in the sky."
- Dick Zander, New York Newsday
"Doug Lawrence is the perfect choice to fill the chair of an elite list of powerful 'in your face' tenor players on the Basie Band. It brings me great joy to hear him solo with the band."
- Frank Foster, Jazz Legend and former Basie tenor saxophonist and leader
"The battle of the bands between Jon Faddis's Big Band and The Count Basie Orchestra at the IAJE conference was a draw until Doug Lawrence delivered the 'knock out' blow with his solo on Ernie Wilken's great arrangement "Basie". I sat there listening, taking a lesson from the masterful Mr. Wilken's composition. It proves, yet again, that Count Basie is just as valid in 2006 as he was in 1935!"
- Ray Barretto, Jazz Legend
"A great tenorman. A natural. Like Lester Young."
- Jazz Legend Buck Clayton, NY Times
"Basie is about the beat and tenorman Doug Lawrence has one of the best beats in the band! I can't wait to see him get up and solo. I love his playing, he's always swinging."
- Sammy Nestico, Legendary Big Band Arranger & Composer
"In my 15 years of teaching, I have never witnessed a guest lecturer have the impact on students (and myself) the way Mr. Lawrence did. He had our undivided attention from the first moment he took the podium. I can't recommend him highly enough!"
- Laura McGowan, Valley High School, Albuquerque, NM
"Doug inspired my students to new heights! The band sounded better immediately and the kids became very motivated after his clinic. I had him back a second time the following year with equally great results."
- Mayo Tiana, Former Jazz Trombonist with Ray Charles, Head of Jazz Studies at North Eastern Illinois University
"Modern master of the tenor saxophone!"
- Paul Weideman, Santa Fe New Mexican
"A Rising Star!"
- Chip Deffaa, New York Post
