The younger brother of Hubert Laws, Ronnie Laws has a nice soulful sound on tenor, but has never seriously pursued playing jazz. Throughout his career, which includes early-'70s gigs with Quincy Jones, his brother, Ramsey Lewis, and Earth, Wind Fire, Laws has essentially been an RB player. He has led his own albums since 1975, but recorded very little of interest to the jazz world, although he is often listed on ~Billboard's contemporary jazz chart.
