 George Lewis (clarinetist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Lewis (13 July 1900 – 31 December 1969) was a jazz clarinetist who achieved his greatest fame and influence in his later decades of life.
Lewis, almost totally unknown outside of New Orleans, impressed many listeners, and he made his first recordings under his own name for American Music Records.
Lewis was an enthusiastic admirer of Armstrong's music and collected his records (although Lewis's own jazz style remained solidly of the pre-Armstrong variety); the Armstrong Hot 5's "Savoy Blues" (credited to Kid Ory) is especially evident in "Burgundy Street".
