Stood right next to Lewis as he was doing a solo rendition of some of that ‘Paris’ material at what was the Cafe des Copains, Toronto. That was 1990 too. Lack of seating sometime has its plusses. Lewis was thoroughly enjoying playing his recital - a memorable night. Yes, almost a private concert. Edited February 4, 2022 by sidewinder Quote

He plays so deliberately, and he makes it sound so expressive. Every note -- and even every note's shading -- is a choice. But he also does it without making the music sound over-thought or "studied." I think that's amazing artistry. Quote

Such a civilised event; Lewis was literally inches away from me and I could have leant on the piano. I think he really enjoyed playing to those of us (not many) in proximity. I think it was Summer 1990, so slightly before that NY recording. At the same venue I remember seeing Jay McShann, Sir Charles Thompson, Joanne Brackeen, Cedar Walton. Just missed Stanley Cowell in solo recital though. Edited February 4, 2022 by sidewinder Quote
