John Lawrence
John Lawrence, a
lifelong resident of Ypsilanti is one of Michigan's most talented and
respected guitarists. He credits
his musical talents first and foremost to God, then to the late Dr. Morris
J. Lawrence Jr. (no relation). Dr. Lawrence was an instructor and chair of
the Music Department at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor.
Under the
tutelage of Dr. Lawrence, John was challenged and inspired to continuously
improve his skills as a guitarist. Following in the footsteps of his
mentor, John became an instructor at W.C.C. where he has taught for 27 years
and is presently the Director of the Music Performance Department.
In less than two semesters John Lawrence developed over 25 new courses plus Certificate
Programs in Guitar Studies, Piano Studies, and Music Production and
Engineering. In the realm of performance, Mr. Lawrence served as musical
director and lead guitarist for vocalist Carl Carlton, who was the opening
act for such famed artists as Smokey Robinson, Chaka Khan, Lionel Richie
and The Commodores, Rick James, Teena Marie, and Maze featuring
Frankie Beverly.
In addition to touring throughout the United States and performing at
festivals such as: the Boston Globe Jazz Festival, New Orleans Jazz and
Heritage Festival, and the Montreaux-Detroit Jazz Festival, John
Lawrence has
performed in Haiti, Surinam, Germany, and the Montreaux Jazz Festival in
Switzerland. Among his proudest moments was a performance at Carnegie
Hall and a commendation from the legendary
Kenny Burrell after John had
informally sat in with him at the famed Keyboard Lounge in Detroit.
John has made television appearances on three nationally syndicated
programs: Kelly & Company, PM Magazine, and Good Morning America. He
has also performed with Atlantic Records recording artists, Straight
Ahead, a Detroit-based female jazz group. His recordings include
Merry Christmas From John Lawrence, The Supreme Dream, Old Smooth,
Summer Nights, Winter Wonderland, All By Myself, and A Guitar Christmas.
