The Lex Norwood Group

Smooth. Steady. Confident in quiet moments, never hogging the spotlight, but precise and demanding of attention when it's time to be heard. It's the rare man who can lay claim to these traits, and rarer still the musician who can bring these qualities that singer/pianist/keyboardist Lex Norwood brings to his strong, self-assured new sound.The Lex Norwood Group, combining Smooth Jazz with R&B weaves a vibe of tranquiliy and subtle energy, creating complex layers of emotions in all of us.Norwood became immersed in music at an early age, studying it in high school and at Kansas University, gradually soaking up jazz influences... from Miles Davis, Eills Marsalis and McCoy Tyner to Keith Jarrett and Ahmad Jamal... along the way. Those influences are readily apparent in Norwood's own music, which achieves an understated, relaxed tone while showcasing the instrumental intuition of himself and his band, which currently includes trumpeters Rod Block and Quincy Garner, bassit Carl West, keyboadest Laron Beaver, guitarist Woody Gould, David Gordon Jr on drums.Please sit back and enjoy the Lex Norwood Group!
