skipclone 1 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I know this is semi OT but it hits kind of hard. He was such a master player and composer, back in my schoool days I was blown away by his explorations. I'm not going to get speechy, just have a listen to 'The In Crowd' and 'Sun Goddess' 1 1 Quote Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Fraser Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm just remembering that at one time, mid 1960s, it was possible to hear Ramsey Lewis playing jazz on the same radio station that was playing the Beatles, Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Chuck Berry, Yardbirds, etc. Bigger ears prevailed back then and jazz was seen as popular music. Glad to have had my ears stretched by Mr. Lewis. 4 1 Quote Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan May Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 RIP Ramsey Lewis...one of the greatest jazz piano cats out there! Hope you're jammin with Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck, those guys!! Ramsey Lewis album "Sun Goddess" is also a must own for any fan of jazz funk. I loved that album a lot!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Rest in Peace Ramsey Lewis... Your jazz tune also inspired a generation of soul and rock and roll teens and adults. Like the original version with lyrics by Dobie Gray. Thanks a million and you will be forever missed! 😎 1 Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane hugo Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Rest easy, Ramsey...if there's an afterlife, maybe you can get an accurate account of all the people who were conceived to your music. Gotta be several hundred thousand, at least. 2 Quote http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipclone 1 Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hey all Thanks to Caevan for tech assistance. IMO this is the piece-'song' or 'tune' doesn't do it justice-that sent my brain into orbit.https://youtu.be/jKnKGJK6cxk Now that I think of it. 'Hot Dawgit' was fabulous too. 1 1 Quote Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
