ABOUT:
George Lewis (13 July 1900 – 31 December 1968[1]) was an American jazz clarinetist who achieved his greatest fame and influence in the later decades of his life.
Lewis was born Joseph Louis Francois Zenon, in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Lewis' great-great grandmother by his mother, Alice Zeno, was a Senegalese slave who was brought over to Louisiana around 1803. Zeno's family retained some knowledge of Senegalese language and customs until Alice's generation.[2]
His music was extremely influential on a whole generation of British New Orleans jazz musicians, and many clarinettists based their style (at least initially) on Lewis's playing. He first visited Britain in 1957, playing across the country with Ken Colyer's Jazzmen. In 1959 he returned, this time with his full band, and received a warm response. British fans of the old New Orleans style were thrilled to see and hear in the flesh some of the old masters from the Crescent City.
George Lewis is name-checked in the Bob Dylan song "High Water" from the album "Love and Theft".
Jazz author and critic Gary Giddins has described Lewis as "an affecting musician with a fat-boned sound but limited technique"direct all inquiries to:
