For his debut recording he is joined by British piano virtuoso Kit Downes for an album of his own works InchThere is limited material for vibraphone and piano (especially for improvising musicians), which has the potential to be so rhythmically interesting and polyphonically grand. I set out to compose pieces that showcase the instruments and are built around the language of the musicians. The right pianist, who can speak in this particular dialect of improvisation and has similar taste in the moment, was an obvious choice. Kit and I have known each other and played together since childhood and we share many influences, musical and otherwise.Inch (Lewis Wright, 2018) Album Tracks 1. Fire & Flow 2. Fortuna 3.
