Check out the first review in All About Jazz

All About Jazz review highlights - “For Earth Tones, Lawn brought together some of the finest musicians in the Philadelphia area to realize ten well-crafted original compositions which thrive in the little big band format. The most striking and pleasurable aspects of Lawn’s arrangements are the beautiful sonorities he creates by combining instruments with different colorations…. The overall sound is a stone’s throw from Maria Schneider’s big band arrangements. The orchestrations are cinematic…”

“Lawn has put together a set of tunes and arrangements in the mainstream post-bop idiom that are consistently listenable with a touch of humor. He makes ample use of the outstanding group of musicians he has assembled for this recording. Anyone familiar with Philly jazz knows that these are among the players who are making it happen in the tri-state area. And the felicitous addition of trumpet master George Rabbai makes this an album to be savored and remembered.”

And the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Review

Inquirer review highlights – “…self-produced recording is a clean, transparent effort that invites more people in the jazz tent.” “…the set maintains a strong mainstream jazz focus…” “Much of it exudes a clean aesthetic a la Gil Evans, whose influence can be heard…”
