Composer, pianist and jazz legend Ramsey Lewis has been referred to as “the great performer,” a title reflecting his performance style and musical selections, which display his early gospel playing and classical training along with his love of jazz and other musical forms. “What keeps me enthusiastic and energizes me is the realization that the more I learn, the more I find there is to know,” Lewis says.
“Nnenna Freelon is hot. … Freelon converts are on their feet, ready, indeed eager, to embrace her. … Freelon is a rare blend of estimable qualities — smart as Oprah, sassy as Sarah Vaughan. …” — Jazz Times
“Freelon makes each song … such a personal statement that they all seem fresh and new.” — USA Today
