About
Hubert Laws' jazz flute is as much a part of the 70s as are Pinto automobiles and screw-capped wine jugs and a couple of his CTI albums were a must for hippies transitioning into the disco era. Yet the fact remains that his work from this period is very strong (particularly the hit Fusion-meets-Stravinsky album, The Rites of Spring) and Laws is an extremely gifted musician who recorded a string of supurb albums with producer Joel Dorn. The 90s find the classically-trained Laws playing better than ever and he still divides his time between crossover and mainstream jazz efforts.
