Virtuoso organist, pianist and composer Greg Lewis, is a highly accomplished mainstay on the city’s jazz, blues and funk scenes, A native New Yorker, his ability to use the organ’s enormous sonic range to playfully turn traditional jazz melodies and notes into harmonic insights at grooving rhythms; has earned him a solid reputation for his versatile work around the world, in a vast variety of settings.
“Thelonious Monk’s sense of harmony was so fresh and savory that it would be nice to have individual moments of it frozen, expanded and prolonged, just to let the sounds get deeper in the ear, to let those mixed colors intensify and explode. One could do it digitally, feeding Monk’s music through the right tools, but an organ player can do it in real time by keeping the keys pressed down. The New York-area organist Greg Lewis has made a recent project out of transferring Thelonious Monk’s repertory to the Hammond C3 organ.” – Ben Ratliff, New York Times
