🎹 It was 1975. My beloved funk was integrating into my new obsession, jazz. Then Earth Wind & Fire teamed up with Ramsey Lewis. Glorious.

🔊 Three years later my college chums and I packed into a small dorm room with two towering speakers, turned out the lights, got high, and were transported by this big sound with ethereal voices that said so much without words.

SUN GODDESS

The Sound of Spring is an album of compositions related to springtime by the Ramsey Lewis Trio, recorded in 1962 and released on the Argo label. The Ramsey Lewis Trio gets some additional orchestral backings – and with great results! The set features Ramsey, Eldee Young, and Red Holt – all playing their usual pyrotechnic blend of soul jazz and swing – supported by larger arrangements handled by Riley Hampton, done in a style that never gets in the way – but which creates some really cook banks for Ramsey and crew to soar off of! Titles include "Spring Fever", "Sound Of Spring", "Truly Truly Spring", "Soft Winds", and "Blue Spring". - Dusty Groove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzB2htBP55k&list=OLAK5uy_mg09z9OXuvydCn8B_R9hnFd6WPc1APFRg #RamseyLewis #JazzPianoTrio #Jazz #Music #Spring #RedHolt #EldeeYoung
