Lawson Rollins Credit Lawson Rollins. Lawson Rollins picked-up the classical guitar at age 15 after hearing the recordings of Spanish guitar legend Andres Segovia. Though he began his studies in the classical genre, he quickly developed his own style, a combination of salsa, Latin jazz, blues, samba, bossa nova, and classical music.
Lawson's genre-blending playing was marked by a distinctively sparkling technical proficiency, grounded in an uncommonly dexterous classical finger style approach. Stan Getz and Gerry Mulligan led me to bossa nova and Miles Davis's performance of the "Concierto de Aranjuez" opened my eyes to Spanish-tinged improvisation.
After finishing graduate school in Europe, Lawson moved to Washington, D. Focusing on originality and experimentation, they performed only their own compositions and drew upon an eclectic mixture of salsa, Latin jazz, blues, samba, bossa nova, flamenco, and classical styles, brimming with improvisational flair and the fast-paced interplay between the guitars and the Latin percussion rhythm section. In addition to landing on the Billboard Chart, their music was included on numerous top-selling compilation albums alongside all the leaders in their genre, including the most recent release Gypsy Spice: Best of New Flamenco.
In Lawson moved to San Francisco to pursue his ambitions as a soloist. I envisioned a multi-instrumental, kaleidoscopic sound that would feature unlikely musical pairings and give the ensemble of players plenty of freedom.
