Pianist Ramsey Lewis, who’s been making records since the 1950s, has a new jazz album out... “Songs from the Heart: Ramsey Plays Ramsey.”If you’re registered at AllAboutJazz.com, you can cop a FREE MP3.

Trivia time: When Eldee Young and Red Holt left the Ramsey Lewis Trio in 1966 (eventually to become the Young-Holt Unlimited), who was Ramsey Lewis’s new drummer? Hint: He later became very famous.
The answer is in the comments section.

dang! I wanted to answer!
Got to love him watching his Jazz special on PBS. Classy guy, with that bearing synonymous of successful blacks folks from the 50's/60's.
He introduced me to both Jane Monheit and John Pizzarelli
Remember when he used to wear braces? :-)
