George Lewis: The Will to Adorn - Lewis / Anderson / Lewis / Schick CD

The recording opens with the title track, a boisterous and colorful ensemble work that is inspired by Zora Neale Hurstons 1934 essay, Characteristics of Negro Expression. Hurstons description of churchgoing folks penchant for decorating a decoration captivated Lewis, and the piece manifests that exuberance through explosive, embellished lines, glitchy off-kilter grooves, and subtly shaded microtonal chords.Additional Info: Adapters: Bill Glover ; Harry Belafonte; Bob Corman.
