"For me, I got two real mentors in my early career, two musicians who took care of me, who were all the time there to respond to all my questions, to show me every thing I wanted to know about this music and life, all problems about travelling, business, being myself and be a real true musician. My two mentors are Sweets Edison and Ray Brown- I was so blessed to have them with me." - Lewis Nash
