Worth The Price of Admission,
By Mark (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hang On Ramsey/Wade In The Wat (Audio CD)
The sound quality on this CD is excellent. Most of what I have from this era is vinyl records of Lewis with his trio, with their attendant pops and clicks, so this is a refreshing upgrade in terms of the clean, remastered sound.I would give "Hang on Ramsey" five stars. "Hard Day's Night", "Real Gone Guy", "Billy Boy", "The More I See You", "Satin Doll" and "Hang on Sloopy" are all great. You get a nice mix of fast moving and slower songs here, with a taste of the night club atmosphere (some understated clapping, cheering, hooting and hollering). "Wade in the Water" has less of a night club atmosphere and more of an orchestral feel. "Wade in the Water", "Uptight" and "Day Tripper" are my favourites. I would recommend this one over "Best Of" (2002 CD). It is a little more money but the better sound quality and wider selection of songs are well worth it.

"RAMSEY",

This review is from: Hang On Ramsey/Wade In The Wat (Audio CD)
My Mother had the WADE IN THE WATER album in the 60's and it too was one of my favorite one to listen to, and again, i could never find it on CD. I do have both of these albums on Reel to Reel but my player has been out of commission for a few years now, so i'm looking for alot of my music on CDs.If you are a true Jazz lover of 50's & 60's, Ramsey Lewis is a must. His renditions of populare tunes of the time, as well as older songs, are of exculent performances. Jazz On Ramsey Lovers and for those who are just now experiencing him, this is an excellent one for your collection. Thnx for your eyes on this one, And Happy Listening. Michael B. VA

This review is from: Hang On Ramsey/Wade In The Wat (Audio CD)
The Ramsey Lewis combo cd set is great for the price. I enjoyed Hang on Ramsey which was new to me, but really liked Wade in the Water, due to having the lp version. Fans that love Ramsey Lewis this is a great item at a good price.
