John Lewis Solo Piano

John Lewis

Pianist John Lewis, co-founder and long-time leader of the legendary Modern Jazz Quartet made jazz history with the group. His ability to blend classical forms with jazz improvisations makes his the kind of music that transcends all barriers. After MJQ disbanded, John Lewis continued to work with other musicians and as a solo pianist. This recording, made under studio conditions, features a solo performance by Lewis.
