Lionel Loueke - Clicks His Way into Jazz
Guitarist Lionel Loueke has established himself as a world-class sideman playing for both Terence Blanchard and Herbie Hancock. Now as a group leader, Loueke demonstrates his prodigious talents by playing guitar, singing and adding percussive clicks to his singing. JazzCorner.com's Jazz Perspectives producer Reese Erlich discovered that Loueke borrowed the rhythmic clicks from a language in South Africa, but has made them all his own.
