Ramsey Lewis Trio Concert Tickets

Ramsey Lewis, drummer Isaac "Redd" Holt and bassist Eldee Young formed the Ramsey Lewis Trio. They started as primarily a jazz unit but after their hit, "The In Crowd", in 1965 (the single reached fifth place on the pop charts, and the album second place) the trio concentrated more and more on pop material. Young and Holt left in 1966 to form the Young-Holt Trio and were replaced by Cleveland Eaton and Maurice White.

It's almost impossible to overstate the importance of Ramsey Lewis in the sixties as a bridge between the bop Jazz community, pop music community, Blues types and the soul brothers (and sisters). Here was someone who set standards in the world of John Coltrane and Chollie Mingus playing Beatles numbers and pieces by Harry Warren (The More I See You) or Duke Ellington or 'Hang On Sloopy'! And making some gorgeous music along the way...

Forty years? Why, according to Ramsey Lewis, it seems like only yesterday when his had a hit with "The In Crowd," which was being played on pop radio stations before jazz coverage moved mostly to FM stations at the lower end of the dial. Now, on Time Flies, Lewis is recalling the 1960's popularity of one hit after another, including "Wade In The Water" and "Hang On Sloopy." And more...

Jazz is virtually nonexistent on network television. Pianist and broadcaster Ramsey Lewis has addressed this vacuum with the PBS program Legends of Jazz with Ramsey Lewis. This Showcase CD/DVD set serves as a sampler of performances from the series. The end result is a patchwork of genres. Benny Golson captivates on the classic "Killer Joe ; Clark Terry's "Mumbles is hilarious. Seeing Ivan Lins perform his Brazilian hit "The Island is moving...

Ramsey Lewis has dominated the scene twice in his career: during the mid-'60s, when jukeboxes all over America were pumping out "Hang on Sloopy" and "The 'In' Crowd" with great regularity, and again in the mid-'70s, when "Sun Goddess" and his version of Earth, Wind & Fire's "That's the Way of the World" flooded the airwaves. While Lewis has recorded prodigiously over the past three decades, he hasn't made nearly as much of an impact...

Ramsey Lewis first made his name in the mid-1960s putting a funky, soul-jazz instrumental finish on top 40 fare such as "The In-Crowd" and "Hang on Sloopy". The formula garnered his trio (which included future Earth Wind and Fire founder Maurice White on drums) significant crossover success and made Lewis one of America's most successful jazz pianists. By the early 1970s, however, he'd tired of the acoustic trio format and embraced R&B fusion and funk...

The more hard-nosed jazz fans usually shrug off American pianist Ramsey Lewis as a pop-jazz quisling who has spent much of his time on chartbound holy-rolling, gospel-powered pop covers and catchy funk anthems such as Hang on Sloopy and Wade in the Water...

As a serious and respected jazz pianist, Ramsey Lewis has had more than the expected number of chart hits during his 40-odd-year career. But that's always been the cool thing about him: as a serious and respected jazz pianist, he's never felt the need to perpetually prove it by showing off and making his playing and writing difficult to get into...
