Originally released in 1975, Summer Solstice showcases saxophonist Azar Lawrence at the peak of his expressive power, merging spiritual jazz and vibrant Latin influences into one seamless, soulful journey. With a band featuring jazz luminaries like Ron Carter and Billy Hart, this album exudes the adventurous spirit of the Prestige label’s classic era while delivering a sound distinctly its own.
This 2019 reissue brings new life to a genuinely underrated jazz gem, celebrated for its cohesive blend of late ‘60s and early ‘70s styles. Perfect for listeners drawn to both the legacy of John Coltrane and boundary-pushing ensemble interplay, Summer Solstice remains an essential listen for fans eager to discover a pivotal moment in modern jazz history.
