George Lewis is a composer erasing any meaningful boundary between contemporary classical and contemporary jazz. Here are two pieces played by the splendid International Contemporary Ensemble. The one to watch for is Soundlines, a musical monodrama in which Lewis has master percussionist Steven Schick reenact (not literally!) a 700-mile walk Schick took from the Mexican border to San Francisco.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: All that walking is making me hungry (and thirsty!). Knickerbocker Bar & Grill for a Martini, a caviar pie, and a steak.
