Ramsey Lewis broke through to widespread commercial success with his trios
rendition of The In Crowd in 1965, and he continued to put instrumental
treatments of pop hits into the charts for another five years, many of which
repeated the live club atmosphere (complete with rough singalongs) and kinetic
rhythms of his first and biggest hit. This period in his career is recalled on
this midline-priced best-of, drawn from his Argo and Cadet Records catalog,
which begins with The In Crowd and goes on to include hit treatments of such 60s
standards as Hang on Sloopy, Up Tight (Everythings Alright), and A Hard Days
Night performed in a similar style. All of the pianists Top 40 hits are
included, as well as some down-chart items and LP tracks. The party atmosphere
is maintained throughout, except for Lewis last Cadet hit, a version of the
Beatles Julia that uses an elaborate string chart. Despite Lewis instrumental
inventiveness, jazz fans may decry the commercial aspect of this material, but
this is the music he is best known for.
