A native of Milwaukee, WI, a student of classical music at New York's Columbia University's School of Music before moving to Israel in 1978 for more study and work in the classical field, pianist Judy Lewis moved to the jazz side of the musical ledger in 1995. This live performance is her second album, but the first with her new trio lineup. On this CD, she not only shows her skills as a performer, but as a composer as well. Seven of the eight items on the program belong to her. Most of her compositions reveal her classical background as they have a sonata, as well as a new age music, feel to them. The delightful "Child's Play" has a flowing pace, with Lewis rarely coming up for air, going from one set of harmonies to the next with ease and aplomb. In contrast, the aptly named "Just Another Stupid Love Song" is more thoughtful and peaceful, but not without a prance or two, with pregnant pauses along the way. There is a nice interlude which features a musical conversation between Lewis and bassist Eli Magen. Perhaps the most arresting cut on the album is the title tune, "Prayer in Black and White," a simply stated melody with chant-like insertions by Guy Shoshani. Shoshani directs his chanting to the strutting drums of Shahar Haziza, while Lewis' hopeful, melodic, smooth playing takes on a life of its own. This track demonstrates that the music can be challenging and demanding without being complex and obscure. The one standard, "My Funny Valentine," opens the door for Lewis' improvisational imagination as she creates several variations on this familiar melody. This is a good session of music by a thoughtful performer and composer, and is recommended. ~ Dave Nathan
The Judy Lewis StoryBy Motti CohenJMC Promotions UK"Judy lewis enters a room like an electrical storm...quiet, but foreboding of a force to be dealt with." So said Hadara Levin Aredy of Judy Lewis 4 years ago in an interview for the City Voice. Since then, this high powered career woman has proven herself a formidable figure on the international contemporary Jazz music scene with a style so unique that John Fordham of The Guardian has called her "no clone of anybody else". I first met Judy in late 1999. A family friend had suggested that while on holiday in Israel I look up an interesting Jazz pianist. Judy had just sold her brand new Ford Fiesta for $12,000 to finance the recording and release of her first album, "Weaver of Dreams". That fact should have, in itself, given me a hint as to who it was I was going to be dealing with. What I found, in fact, was a single Mom of 4 small children, working a 40 hour a week day job, still finding 4 to 5 hours a day to practice and promote her music. Our first conversation was a bantering of jazz drummers' names (I myself, being a drummer), a comparison of their styles and Judy's very strong statements of preference for one over the other. Judy told me that she was in the process of putting together a new Trio lineup since her drummer had been diagnosed with a life threatening illness and her bass player was planning a move to Germany to study music. One more in a long line of hurdles that didn't seem to faze her or dim the conviction she had in the music she created. Little did I know that just one year later would ...

ern Thompson was born in Oakland, California on July 29th 1950. He was raised in Berkeley, CA, attending Berkeley High School and graduating in the spring of 1968. Much later Berkeley High would produce musicians Benny Green, Joshua Redmon and Peter Apfelbaum."At the time I attended Berkeley High there was very little recognition of jazz in the curriculum , there was only a jazz appreciation course and no jazz band." In March of 1969 Vern went to work at KJAZ-FM off and on for the next twelve years using the air name Lee Thomas. He also attended San Francisco State University where he studied Broadcast Communications and music. During this time he began private study of the trumpet, starting with John Coppola and continuing to study with Warren Gale Jr., Eddie Henderson, Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson (studying with each for about two years). "After I received my B.A. from San Francisco State I just continued to study trumpet and kept going with music. I wanted to be a professional musician. I wanted ...
