SmoothJazz.com Review

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Sharpen your global IQ with ESPIRITO, the second solo masterpiece from guitar virtuoso Lawson Rollins. Expounding on the vision from his INFINITA debut, Rollins teams up once again with Shahin Shahida and Dominic Camardella as co-producers. ESPIRITO is an adventurous amalgam of musical cultures. The strength of this project is rooted in its ability to engage the listener by skipping across borders and continents like stepping-stones. Having been blown away by its initial spin, it was on subsequent visits where I found the vibrant playfulness of Lawson's musical mastery truly revealed... "Moonlight Samba," the first Smooth radio single, features vocal ad-libs from Brazil's Flora Purim. Love the western twist of "Blue Mountain Bolero"... and "Footprints" is a dreamy number that leaves you quiet and centered. With today's skyrocketing airfares and fees and now even more security, leave the tarmac behind and take a journey with ESPIRITO. The world is yours... no passport required - just your music player! ~BROOKS WALKER"
Beyond Exceptional

"You know this music. Purely instumental, with the flamenco style pushed around with fabulous playing and layers upon layers of facinating craftmanship.

It seems it would be difficult to specifically tell you in words the difference between great and exceptional in this genre of music. There is perfection and then it goes a bit further. Something grabs you, and the CD goes around and around... the time spins away and you go back to it. Great summer pool / dinner party music."
Great music

"Lawson Rollins is truly a gifted guitar player. This album really lets him express his talents. All the tracs were thoughtful and well done. Great vocals besides."
