The Fabulous George Lewis Band tells the fascinating story of legendary American jazz clarinetist George Lewis through a dialogue between Nick Gagliano, Lewis's manager for much of his career, and Barry G, Martyn, a London-born drummer who worked with Lewis and many other New Orleans jazz musicians over his long career. Together, they remember Lewis, offer personal perspectives on the man and his music, and set the record straight on a number of important issues relating to his business and personal life. Perhaps most importantly, they demonstrate the enduring magnetism of a musician whose idiosyncratic combination of lyrical majesty on his instrument and innate modesty as a performer captured the hearts and minds of jazz lovers the world over.
