ELEW, was born Eric Lewis, and had carved out an impressive career as a modern jazz pianist, working with such greats as Wynton Marsalis, Elvin Jones, Jon Hendricks and Roy Hargrove.
Feeling that he was not fully expressing himself playing in what was already a well-established style, he reinvented himself as ELEW, a pianist with a more open style and a repertoire that included rock tunes.
ELEW, who does not sit on a piano bench when he plays, has had success in his newer musical identity without losing his ability to create fresh improvisations.
On this LiveStream from May 13, 2020, he plays a wide- ranging set of music that includes Freddie Hubbard’s “Red Clay,” his original “Inspiring,” a bit of stride piano, using rhythmic ideas from inside the piano as the basis for one piece, a John Coltrane song, “Georgia On My Mind,” and other adventurous explorations.

Review:
This is the one hundred and second in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
An intriguing modern piece played on his electric piano.
Santiago Leibson is a Brooklyn-based, Argentinian-born jazz pianist and composer.
An adventurous performer whose work sometimes sounds like improvised modern classical music, Leibson has worked with such notables as Tony Malaby, Guillermo Klein, Michael Attias, Gerald Cleaver and Michael Formanek among others.
On his LiveStream from May 12, 2020, Santiago Leibson performs a series of mostly concise improvisations that swing in their own way; one uses an eccentric rhythmic pattern that builds to an intense level while another is a thoughtful if dissonant ballad.

Born in Israel, Noa Fort is a singer-pianist who composes and improvises picturesque music.
She studied tabla for a year in India, studied at the Jerusalem Academy, became a music therapist, and has been part of the New York jazz scene since 2013, leading a quartet and making her recording debut on No World Between Us.
On her LiveStream of May 10, 2020, Noa Fort displays equal skill and adventure as a vocalist (singing wordlessly) and pianist, performing atmospheric and dramatic originals.

Review:
This is the fortieth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Camille Thurman, who is in her mid-thirties, is an excellent tenor-saxophonist, flutist and singer who is considered one of the brightest stars in her generation.
After graduating college, she settled in New York, was a finalist in the 2013 Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition, and recorded as a leader for the Hot Tone Music and Chesky labels.
On her Livestream from June 4, 2020, Camille Thurman is joined by drummer/percussionist Darrell Green.
The first piece effectively matches her impressive wordless singing to powerful images from the recent anti-racism and police brutality demonstrations.
She next performs a thoughtful “Danny Boy” on her alto flute and her original ballad “He Looks Beyond My Faults and Found Me” on tenor.
The production concludes with her overdubbed voices and Green’s drumming accompanying dramatic images from the demonstrations on “Time For A Change” and Camille Thurman talking about her life during the pandemic period.

Review:
This is the one hundred forty-second in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
Dan Nimmer was born in Milwaukee, had extensive classical piano lessons, and studied jazz at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and Northern Illinois University while working in clubs in Chicago.
He moved to New York in 2004 and within a year had become a regular member of the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra, developing his own modern swing style.
On his LiveStream from May 8, 2020, Dan Nimmer plays solo piano on “I’ve Got The World On A String” (hinting at times at Teddy Wilson and Erroll Garner), Duke Ellington’s “Reflections In D,” a tune reminiscent of Bobby Timmons, a medium-tempo version of “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing,” Bill Evans’ “Peace Piece,” and a closing medium- tempo blues.
It makes for a fine all-round set of swinging piano.
