The Ramsey Lewis Trio • Never On Sunday

Review by Scott Yanow

The playing time on this LP (under half an hour) means that the ten selections are a bit briefer than usual. Pianist Ramsey Lewis, bassist Eldee Young, and drummer Red Holt had one of the most popular groups in jazz of the era, playing soulful and melodic versions of standards that were both swinging and accessible. Highlights of this LP include "I Got Plenty of Nothing," "The Breeze and I," and "Exactly Like You."

Reseña de Scott Yanow

El tiempo de reproducción de este LP (menos de media hora) significa que las diez selecciones son un poco más breves de lo habitual. El pianista Ramsey Lewis, la bajista Eldee Young y el baterista Red Holt tenían uno de los grupos más populares en el jazz de la época, tocando versiones conmovedoras y melódicas de los estándares que eran a la vez swinging y accesibles. Lo más destacado de este LP incluye "I Got Plenty of Nothing", "The Breeze and I" y "Exactly Like You".
