Lincoln, he said "There are a lot Of cats
around who say they want to make It in
jazz, but then they go home and watch
television every night. That won't make
it. "
Because he likes jazz so much, it
bothers Lewis that most people don't, or
haven't heard enough to judge.
"In the past, one of the reasons jazz
wasn't popular was the life behind it' he
said. It was bad for people to hang out in
dark little clubs and to think about their
emotions and express them honestly
through music.
. More people are getting into jazz now,
Lewis said, possibly because this
generation is freer to express itself and
it's finding it needs more than one type
of music to do that.
"I think jazz is the most flexible music,
you'll find more jazz players who play
rock and classical music well than rock
players who know jazz. That's because in
striving to express yourself-which is
what jazz is-who knows what technique
you'll need?"
1 'Classical music is more convent loud.
he said, and classical musicians tend to
frown on those who don't play n
instrument the way it was meant to be
played. "You get some pretty strange
sounds coming out ot jazz sorrwunwi,
an'rl thaw'ra not Ilirfl thftV likt that." lit
said, smiling.
pock music tends to restrict the
musician by trying to forge musicians
into a group, a "sound," he said.
'Jazz improvisations keep the musician
an individual-"He's got to be to be
spontaneous."
J hut all this expressing of emotion and
spontaneous reacting to others' music
means there are some pretty messed up
jazi players, Lewis said.
"They're always digging Into
themselves; they have to get it together
inside before they can play with others.
"See, a drummer in a rock band might
play' the same pattern for the whole
song-but a jazz drummer will take off
with the pattern, come back, but always
keep relating to the other musicians."
