Lezlie Harrison: Tuesday Nights at Sweet Rhythm (NYC)

[Elissa]

Have been meaning to post something about this gig for a couple months now. I love Lezlie's voice - she has a phenomenal rhythmic sense and gorgeous tonality. And she's a rare singer in that not only does she have a masterful command of time and feel, but every damn syllable she delivers means something personal, human - she's never just walking thru the paces. 'Course, Greg Lewis is killing, it must be said; and Saul Rubin's usually on guitar. Roy Hargrove often drops in and the last few weeks she's had a good Italian drummer on the gig - Luca Santaniello. Shame that Sweet Rhythm doesn't advertise this more cause it's really a super gig.

Kenny Barron was there tonight - listening. He said Greg Lewis made him want to play the Hammond.
