RAMSEY LEWIS
ROUTES / THREE PIECE SUITE
Digitally re-mastered release containing a pair of albums from the Jazz great on one disc: Routes and Three Piece Suite. The Routes album sees his collaboration with Earth Wind & Fire continue after the Success of the Sun Goddess album with five tracks composed by members of Earth Wind & Fire, with the remaining tracks written by Allen Toussaint, who also produced the album with Larry Dunn of Earth Wind & Fire. 'Whisper Zone' and 'Colors in Space' being the stand out tracks from the album. 1981's Three Piece Suite sees a softer Jazzier side of Ramsey, and his piano playing style is probably more evident on this album than on Routes, There is even a cover version of Michael Jackson's 'She's Out of My Life.' Cherry Red. |
