5.0 out of 5 stars the song "down to earth", August 1, 2007

By

This review is from: Down to Earth (Audio CD)

hello, i've never written a review before but need to comment on two other reviewer's remarks. both were disappointed that a song "down to earth" was not on the cd although it allegedly was on the lp. i'm holding the lp in front of me as i'm writing and this song does not exist on my record, which is the original version. the ten songs on my lp are the same ten songs on the cd. by the way, it is a most wonderful lp, very dark and bluesy, unlike his more pop-oriented later stuff. best to you all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Ramsey Lewis Trio! SUPER, October 20, 1999

I have always loved the old Ramsey Lewis Trio work before he got into synthesizers and split with Red Holt and ElDee Young. This album brings back the best of Ramsey Lewis. Hopefully this will lead to remastering and CD release of "Stretching Out" and other Trio albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic recording by one of the greatest jazz trios., February 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Down to Earth (Audio CD)

Long before he got into foolishness like "Hang On Sloopy" and "The In-Crowd," Ramsey Lewis was at the helm of one of the greatest trios in jazz history. Together with Red Holt on drums and El Dee Young on bass, this old album (originally on Mercury Records) released in the early 1960s is probably their finest effort. Subtitled "Music from the Soil," it is funky, soulful and, most of all, very moving.
