GovernorSilver Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Some of you may have heard of him. The bass player I played with tonight occasionally plays with this talented blind pianist. Eric Lewis has his own sound going on in a variety of styles, and may be the most physical piano player I think I've ever seen. The second video shows, on some level, how piano can be a complete instrument. I enjoyed both clips. Thanks for posting. It's part of jazz tradition to reuse licks from one's favorite players. In his case, one of those favorite players must be Cecil Taylor. Cecil pissed off plenty of folks in his time. Don't watch this if you're faint of heart, especially if you hated pieces like Vingt Regards sur l' Enfant-Jésus by Olivier Messaien: [video:youtube] If Cecil wasn't an inspiration for this young man, then I'm guessing Marilyn Crispell.
