Prepare for an evening of unparalleled jazz as the legendary tenor sound of the Count Basie Orchestra meets the sophisticated, cinematic touch of the Markus Gottschlich Trio.

In this exclusive collaboration, Doug Lawrence—the multi-Grammy-winning featured soloist for the Count Basie Orchestra—brings his "huge, invincible" sound to the intimate stage of Judson’s Live. Having shared the stage with icons like Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett, Lawrence is a "modern master" of the tenor saxophone, carrying forward the torch of the great jazz tradition with effortless grace.

Joining him is Austrian-American pianist and Steinway Artist Markus Gottschlich. Known for blending European classical nuances with the raw energy of American jazz, Gottschlich’s playing is a masterclass in lyrical storytelling and "risk-taking" improvisation. Together with his trio, Gottschlich provides the perfect foil for Lawrence’s muscular, soulful phrasing, creating a sonic landscape that is both deeply rooted in tradition and boldly forward-thinking.
