Critically acclaimed songwriter, vocalist, and pianist Laurence Elder's fresh, inspired cross-genre blend of jazz, pop, blues and rock helped to define the original sound that won him international acclaim with his debut album, “Surrounded.” He has toured extensively, and recorded with Grammy winners Peter Erskine and Paquito D’Rivera, who both appear as guests on that first release. His music has received accolades from JAZZIZ Magazine, Modern Drummer Magazine, The Miami Herald, Inside MusiCast, and countless music industry luminaries.
Laurence has headlined with his band at New York City’s Blue Note Jazz Club, Washington DC’s Blues Alley, JAZZIZ Nightlife, and the Philippine International Jazz Festival, to name a few, and his original song, “Now,” was nominated for a POSI Award by Empower Music and Arts, a national organization which recognizes music with a positive message.
Bringing light and upliftment through music is a theme that has strengthened over the years, culminating in Laurence’s new album, “Walk Another Mile,” which features some of the original personnel from "Surrounded," as well as colorful additions such as guitarist Mike Stern and trumpet legend Randy Brecker, also co-author of the liner notes. Already receiving positive reviews, “Walk Another Mile,” is a worthy follow-up to its predecessor, or in the words of Rick Such from Inside MusiCast, “Good things come to those who wait.”
