Lionel Loueke's first gig was an accident: He was at a club while the performing band was taking a break. In need of money, Lionel went onstage and started playing his guitar. Expecting reproach from the manager of the club, he asked Lionel to keep playing. Since then, he's gone on to play with some of jazz's greatest musicians including Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard, and Cassandra Wilson. Combining the improvisational natures of jazz and African music, Lionel Loueke plays in trio at The Painted Bride Art Center.
