George Lewis is an exemplary figure: a major figure in advanced jazz, and also a major composer of contemporary classical music. Because — repeat after me — genre is a construct. Tonight's program showcases works Lewis has written for soloists (or, in the case of String Noise, a duo) to play, with software then creating sounds that "follow" them. Fascinating, compelling stuff.
