	George Lewis (clarinetist)
		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".

		It was after George Lewis died in '68 that young clarinetist Michael White stumbled across one of those albums, and he was transfixed.

		Also important during this period were his two years of instruction from the classically trained clarinetist Franz Schoepp.
		He worked for radio and in recording studios for Red Nichols, Ben Selvin, Ted Lewis, Johnny Green, and Paul Whiteman, and on Broadway in George Gershwin's Strike Up The Band and Girl Crazy (both in 1930), and Richard Whiting's Free For All in 1931.
		A recording (released in 1982) with George Benson clearly demonstrated that Goodman had lost none of his creative energy or technical facility.

		Because Brian Carrick (who plays in tune and displays plenty of energy) did not choose to emulate Lewis' faults as well as his virtues (a common fault of younger players who admire their idols a little too much!), his set is continually rewarding.
		But for now, his interpretations of George Lewis' legacy are quite appealing.
		The clarinet of Carrick is across the register, tastefully played, seemingly effortless, Brian sounds not unlike George Lewis however, he doesn't slavishly copy the latter's playing though he is undoubtedly influenced by the Lewis band.

	Official Ticketmaster site. Norrie Cox tickets, concerts and tour dates
		Influenced by Johnny Dodds, Sidney Bechet, George Lewis (the New Orleans clarinetist, not the avant-garde trombonist), and Jimmie Noone (among others), Norrie Cox is a veteran Dixieland clarinetist who is identified with the Midwestern jazz scene but was born and raised in England.
		Cox's playing shows no awareness of bop-oriented clarinetists like Buddy DeFranco and Tony Scott; Cox is Dixieland all the way, and his work is quite faithful to the spirit of the New Orleans jazz of the '10s and '20s.
		(Clarinetist George Lewis also had a group called the New Orleans Stompers, which was active long before the formation of Cox's group.) As a leader, Cox has been recording for the Chicago-based Delmark Records since the '90s.

	G21 POWERSSOUND - "Clarinet Times Two"
		Lewis, according to the notes accompanying the CD, "remains perhaps the most widely imitated and influential [clarinetist] in the world today." While contemporaries such as Armstrong, Oliver, Morton and others left New Orleans to achieve fame elsewhere, Lewis stayed.
		White had never heard of Lewis until he happened to see a TV account of the jazz master's death and the resulting jazz funeral.
		Because traditional jazz has so few outlets in television (maybe once in a long while on Public TV) or radio (sadly, theres no such format as Traditional Jazz,) ranking at the top in CD sales must be attributed to an urgent and delighted crowd who pass the word.

		Those who have never heard Swell are likely to be dazzled by his technical ability: His skills are at a peak, as he incorporates some of the innovations of Roswell Rudd and George Lewis and stamps them with his own personality.
		With Invisible Cities, trombonist Steve Swell and clarinetist Perry Robinson have created a unique snapshot of duo improvisation that, as much as it sounds like a Saturday afternoon loft rehearsal when the rhythm section was too busy, is a compelling document of the affinity between improvisers.

		While he has not attained the legendary status of his friend Bunk Johnson, clarinetist George Lewis (1900-1968) was even more influential in the worldwide acceptance of traditional New Orleans jazz as a classic music style.
		The collective empathy that Lewis and his sidemen built over years of playing together was matched by their flair as entertainers (trumpeter Kid Howard, pianist Alton Purnell, and drummer Joe Watkins were all featured vocalists), and Lewis albums formed the traditional cornerstone of several of the greatest independent jazz labels' catalogs.
		Lewis led one of the Crescent City's outstanding bands, whose pungent, sometimes rowdy ensembles and spirited soloists always pleased their audiences.
