Jazz
Tracks #1-9 from "The Ramsey Lewis Trio in Chicago" (Argo LP 671)
Recorded live at the Blue Note Club, Chicago, on April 30, 1960
Tracks #10-19 from "Stretching Out" (Argo LP 665)
Recorded in Chicago, on February 23 & 24, 1960
Includes the complete Argo albums "The Ramsey Lewis Trio in Chicago" -the last LP ever recorded at Chicago's historic Blue Note Club, recorded a couple of weeks before it was closed. Plus "Stretching Out", both recordings featuring the pianist's classic trio and appear for the time ever on CD.
A simple trio, piano, bass and drums and yet the sound is so much more. Know for their more mellow brand of jazz, this double program shows a more dynamic side. Never one to jump out front and grandstand Ramsey is content to stay within the lines and play nice. And he makes it work for him and us as well. A relaxed cover photo, although obviously posed, still makes the trio look comfortable and natural. Just like their music.

Ramsey Lewis has long straddled the boundary between bop-oriented jazz and pop music. Most of his recordings (particularly by the mid-'60s) were very accessible and attracted a large non-jazz audience. In 1956, he formed a trio with bassist Eldee Young and drummer Red Holt. From the start (1958), their records for ArgoCadet were popular, although in the early days, they had a strong jazz content. In 1958, Lewis also recorded with Max Roach and Lem Winchester. On the 1965 albums The In Crowd and Hang On, Ramsey made the pianist into a major attraction and from that point, on his records became much more predictable and pop-oriented. In 1966, his trio's personnel changed with bassist Cleveland Eaton and drummer Maurice White (later the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire) joining Lewis. In the 1970s, Lewis often played electric piano, although by later in the decade he was sticking to acoustic and hiring an additional keyboardist. He can still play melodic jazz when he wants to, but Ramsey Lewis has mostly stuck to easy listening pop music during the past 30 years. In 2004 he released Time Flies, a look back at some of his most popular songs through new recordings.
