Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded shortly before their massive commercial breakthrough with 'The In Crowd', the Ramsey Lewis Trio offers their own interpretation of the reigning Latin jazz craze. The album applies Lewis's notoriously blues-heavy, gospel-inflected piano style to the delicate syncopations of Brazil. It functions as a highly accessible, deeply grooving marriage of Chicago soul jazz and South American rhythms.
