Hubert Laws (3099 words) |
 | Laws is allowing himself to play some of the daredevil, harmonically intricate material that established him as the leading jazz flutist of his generation. |
| Laws, who played with the Metropolitan Opera orchestra in 1968, has technique to spare - a hefty tone that stays warm and rounded from the sultry low resister to the highest notes, dazzling speed and articulation, octave-hopping agility, fluency with bent notes and alternate fingerings. |
| After high school, Hubert enrolled in the music department of Texas Southern University and soon went from the classrooms of that university, to the prestigious corridors of the Julliard School of Music in New York, via Los Angeles where he gigged around for awhile at the age of 18. |
