Jazz
Ramsey Lewis (piano, Fender Rhodes piano); Cleveland Eaton (acoustic & electric basses); Morris Jennings (drums, percussion)
Pianist Ramsey Lewis got his first taste of popularity as part of a jazz trio he formed with Eldee Young and Red Holt and later crossed over to pop success with "The In Crowd" and "Hang On Sloopy." Influenced by John Lewis, Oscar Peterson, and Art Tatum, Lewis perfected his own sophisticated style, which is evident on tunes included here, such as "Got To Be There," "People Make The World Go Round," and "Put Your Hand In The Hand." |
