ELEW

Eric Lewis, known as ELEW, won the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition in 1999 and has played with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. He later blended jazz technique with rock guitar ideas and prepared piano, a sound he calls Rockjazz. He also plays two independent melodies at once, a technique he named Counterbop, and he works as a DJ, sometimes building turntables right into the piano.

Detroit's own Louis Jones is on drums and Noah Jackson is on bass. There are two seatings, at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner, seating for Dinner & a Show starts at 6, and seating for the second show starts at 9. Reservations are required.
