The great Jazz musician, Ramsey Lewis passed away last week at the ripe old age of 87. He started out as a pianist and became so much more. He recorded more than eighty albums and won three Grammy awards. He was also the host of Legends of Jazz – both the PBS show and the Chicago radio show. Let’s pour one out for an amazing talent.
Maurice White from Earth, Wind and Fire was a drummer with the trio for three years starting in 1967.
As always, thanks for your support!
I’ll leave the low hanging fruit to others.

Being from Chicago, I got to see Ramsey Lewis a bunch of times at various venues. He influenced several generations of Chicago musicians. There is so much good music there.
Well, shoot, I remember his PBS series and even if the music didn’t do a lot for me, he was just great. RIP, Ramsey Lewis.
