In 1964, Lauber worked for United Artists Corporation and scored a seven-minute piano concerto for the film The World of Henry Orient, starring Peter Sellers.
The album Contemplation View was considered to represent a new genre, resulting in the labeling of Lauber in reviews as one of the innovators of "countrypolitan" music, a combination of country blues and jazz.
In New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles, Lauber played keyboards, arranged and produced for Richie Havens, Mimi Farina, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, Bob Macdill, and Sammy Smith.
Lauber's compositions and songs have been recorded by some of the greatest jazz, folk and rock artists in American musical history, including Hank Jones, Richie Havens, Joe Cocker, Tim Hardin, Milt Jackson, Ray Brown, Paul Smith, Red Callender, Toots Theilman and Stanley Clark.
Lauber has provided an original, Thelonious Monk-inspired music score for Laurence Holder’s bio drama Monk, which completed its first off-Broadway run at the Nuyorican Poets Café.
Lauber completed a CD in 2007 entitled O Soul Song for release in Europe by Douglas Records and can be found in Limited Editions on his web site, kenlauber.net.
