Title: timeless grooves
Product review: This 2-disc compilation of Ramsey Lewis' material on the Chess label is absolutely brilliant. Yeah, there's "The In Crowd" and a few other hits, plus his version of "Hard Day's Night", which is the best cover I've ever heard of the song. Dare I say, I enjoy it more than the original Beatles version! But the rest of the mostly instrumental tracks on here are also contagious; running the gamut from lively jazz to more soulful, if not funky takes on standards like "Wade in the Water." Ramsey Lewis is a big name in music, but yet I don't think he gets enough critical acclaim, not only for his piano playing, but especially for these early recordings he made with his trio. Classic, timeless music!
