Biography

Ramsey Lewis is a jazz pianist and multi-instrumentalist, and composer who has released approximately 80 albums over a 50-year career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Piano & Strings Equals Holiday Classic, November 29, 2004
By Soignee77 (Arlington, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This 1961 re-issue is timeless. If you appreciate Wes Montgomery's period with orchestration, you will enjoy this instrumental jazz masterpiece. For the purist, the first half of the CD is sans strings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put Ramsey in Your Musical Stocking, December 1, 2005
It was never offically Christmas until my mother hooked up the Jingle Bells door chime and my father put Ramsey Lewis " Sound of Christmas" on our HiFi. This is a fantastic holiday treat. I have loads of Christmas music, but I place this recording very high in my December rotation. The strings that play on" What Are You Doing New Years Eve?" and the bouncy "Sleigh Ride" take me back to the Wonder Years of my youth. I believe it will become an evergreen in your collection. Happy Holidays or as Ramsey puts it...Merry Christmas Baby !

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Jazz Xmas Album Ever, November 12, 2004
By Paul W. King (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the one Xmas CD you have to get. Ramsey swings through all the Xmas standards at his toe tapping best. Xmas Blues has been my favorite since I first heard it. This recording was made when the trio was at it's best, and happy to be playing together. For fourty three years no other jazz Xmas album has ever been better.
