A free Ramsey Lewis download

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.

Click here to hear “Touching, Feeling, Knowing” on my Vox blog. To download the track, follow this link to AllAboutJazz.

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.

    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

    I have his "Finest Hour" comp. I love his early stuff.
