It's a rare career that can sustain longevity anyway - it's no coincidence the people who do attain legendary status, because it's so very, very rare. Would I put Jeff Lewis in that category? Well I'm a bit too new to it all to say anything much but, for me personally, maybe not. But I am definitely very interested in what he's up to and what he's planning. That more a masterclass in diplomatic equivocation than an answer, I suppose.

I <i>do</i> like Jeff Lewis, & enjoyed this album; but I do wonder, this far into his 'career', what's the point of him? I mean, I see him more as being enjoyed as a mix-tape/random play artist rather than a 'ooh, I think I'll put on...' Now this is an odd one.
