Some of the most beautiful music of the evening came unexpectedly, when Roditi looked into the audience and called to the stage a longtime friend and colleague: Chicago trumpeter Bobby Lewis. A kindred spirit with an even lighter touch than Roditi, Lewis duetted nimbly in Roditi's The Monster and the Flower. The combination of his silvery lyricism and Roditi's punchier attacks explained why the two have collaborated successfully over the years.Howard Reich Chicago Tribune Arts Critic
