NEW JAZZ MAN: Rising jazz pianist Eric Lewis is fast becoming the talk of the jazz world with his energetic, swinging performances. A native of Camden, N J, Lewis has toured with Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, Cassandra Wilson and the late Betty Carter. He has a cameo in the new Robert DeNiro movie, The Good Shepherd and appeared on the soundtrack of the PBS documentary Unforgettable Blackness, about the heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. He also appeared on the hit sitcom, "Girlfriends" and was the featured guest on a recent segment of the "Tavis Smiley" talk show on PBS-TV.
