Pianist/Composer Tom Lawton Interview Part I

Pianist/Composer Tom Lawton Interview Part I
Tom Lawton sat with us last year in a park near his home, and in this part of the lengthy interview he talks about his early years as a child playing by ear. He also describes his experiences in early rock bands: Wolfbane Drake and Berlin Airlift. Two incidents got him into jazz: John Coltrane and Gerald Price.

Interviewers: Suzanne Cloud and Jack McCarthy of the Philadelphia Jazz Legacy Project. Partial funding by the Philadelphia Cultural Fund.
