John Lewis, a renowned jazz pianist, composer, and arranger, was a founding member of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Born in La Grange, Illinois, in 1920, Lewis studied classical piano before embracing jazz. His sophisticated harmonies and elegant playing style earned him critical acclaim and a reputation as one of the most influential jazz musicians of his time. Lewis's compositions, such as "Django" and "Concorde," became jazz standards, and his collaborations with artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Dizzy Gillespie further cemented his legacy.
