Lawrence of Newark is a jazz album by organist/keyboardist Larry Young, released on the Perception Records label.

Contents

The album is Young's debut for Perception Records which has since been reissued on CD by Castle Records. Perception Records went out of business shortly after the release of this recording, so it has never been widely available, and hence rarely heard in the 70s and 80s.

Lawrence of Newark represents Larry Young's first non-Blue Note recording as a leader post-Lifetime startling for its fresh look at how the organ is used in jazz and in improvisation.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album over 4 stars and stated "The CD reissue has fine sound and sells for a budget price; it should not be overlooked. The DJs just haven't discovered this one yet. Awesome."
