ELEW Solo Piano Performance

Eric Lewis grew up in Camden, New Jersey, started music at age 2, and went on to a scholarship at the Manhattan School of Music. He has performed with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Elvin Jones, Cassandra Wilson and Roy Hargrove. In 1999 he won the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition.

As ELEW, he mixes piano technique with rock guitar ideas and experimental prepared piano, a style he calls "Rockjazz." He has reworked songs by The Killers, Nirvana, Coldplay and Michael Jackson. He also plays two independent melodies at once, a technique he calls Counterbop, and he works as an international DJ, sometimes placing turntables inside the piano.
