This out-of-print LP (some of the contents have since come out on CD in the Decca reissue series) was the second one issued under pianist
Ramsey Lewis' name and is taken from the same session as his debut. Joined by his longtime sidemen bassist
Eldee Young and drummer
Red Holt,
Lewis plays a melodic brand of swinging bop. This version of "Delilah" (from the film Samson and Delilah) was a minor hit and other highlights include "Please Send Me Someone to Love," "Black Is the Color," "It Ain't Necessarily So" and "On the Street Where You Live."
Ramsey Lewis' roots in jazz (which in later years would sometimes be hidden) is very much in evidence throughout this enjoyable trio set. ~ Scott Yanow
