On October 9th, 2015, pianist, Tom Lawton and his ensemble presented a live performance at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The performance showcased music that Lawton composed as part of a special commission from the Philadelphia Jazz Project to musically explore the work of Philadelphia-born and bred, modern art pioneer, Emmanuel Radnitzky, also known as Man Ray. Lawton spent weeks looking at Man Ray’s works and reviewing information from the museum’s collection. PJP is proud to share the music created by Tom Lawton and his colleagues that evening, in this mixtape: Tom Lawton - Man Ray Suite. The performers include: Tom Lawton - Piano, Diane Monroe - Violin, Ben Schachter - Tenor Sax, John Swana - Trombone, Lee Smith - Bass, Dan Monaghan - Drums.
