Ich kenne sie aus der Big Band von Maria Schneider und schätze ihre Beiträge sehr. Sie wirkte auch in den Big Bands von Andrew Hill mit (A Beautiful Day, Palmetto) und Satoko Fuji mit, war aber schon viel länger unterwegs.

Dave Douglas schrieb in seinem Blog von ein paar Jahren ein paar Zeilen über sie, darunter auch die Folgenden:
Laurie has been my trumpet teacher for over a decade, and I know many other trumpeters who rely on her for advice and counsel. She is the kind of gifted teacher who takes a personal interest in her students, crafting exercises specifically to their needs. She has also made herself available in emergencies — I once called her for advice from Zurich, in panic on the day of a recording session. She called right back and listened to me play over the phone. She gave me several exercises to do to work out the issues. Something about it really clicked, though I would be hard pressed to tell you how… I did go into the studio with Tiny Bell Trio that day to record Constellations.
