I had the great chance to attend USI ealier this month (more on that later). One of the greatest surprises was an unexpected one in the name of Eric Lewis.
Last year, the final keynote was Neil Armstrong (yeah, the moon guy). So it was quite hard to top this year. They had the idea to change the beat a little and to ask the not yet famous jazzman Eric Lewis (aka ELEWW).
This guy is just amazing!
He's a pianist who tries to reproduce popular rock music on his instrument. It takes him loads of concentration and extreme stamina but the result is outstanding.
Apart from that, I had the chance to have a little chat with him and he's a really nice guy.
So, I think it worth this little post to do him some publicity. Here are some links:
MySpace
Wikipedia
Personnal site
Twitter
Go see him in live. That's where he's at his best.
