One of my favorite Jazz songs is by a Chicago Jazz great, Ramsey Lewis. This rhythmic, toe tapping, hand clapping piece is a 
20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Ramsey Lewis. Ramsey Lewis would go on to win a Grammy Award for that "Live" recording at the Cavern. Well, enjoy your weekend. As you can see I have music on my mind. Perhaps I will get a moment to listen and enjoy. Peace~

Great recommendation - I like the groove a lot. Have a GREAT weekend.
Dance, you do the same.
Enjoy your weekend - I hope you do get to go out. Nowadays, going out is such a chore for me!! Old age.

Enjoy uour weekend. I may be showing my age, but my introduction to Ramsey Lewis' music was through Earth Wind and Fire's rendition of "Sun Goddess" which I followed to the Master himself.

I saw Ramsey Lewis in Denver back in the late 90s. He gave a good show.
OK, I'm going to go buy cd's! :-)

I've never seen Ramsey in concert, but I saw him in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago a few years ago. He was coming out of a bank. I didn't confirm it, but I'm sure it was him.

Nice spot with a lot of Jazz history.
That's one of the things that the US does very well and it's not as accessible here in the UK - jazz

Really? I didn't know that. Japan seems to be big on Jazz.
