Lewis Trio

The Lewis Trio mixes together Cuban, American, and French jazz, and is comprised of several accomplished Cuban musicians -- bandleader/violinist Ricardo Gonzalez Lewis, pianist Ivan Gonzalez Lewis, and bassist Alain Perez. While the trio's music possesses an unmistakable Cuban feel throughout, different musical elements add up to create quite an original sound (such as use of dissonance, opera-style singing, etc.). 2001 saw the release of the Lewis Trio's debut album, Battango. ~ Greg Prato
