商品の紹介
| On the heels of announcing his retirement in 2018, the then-83-year-old Ramsey Lewis entered the studio with his longtime crossover funk outfit Urban Knights to record 2019s earthy and stylistically expansive VII. A group originally conceived in the early 90s in the vein of such iconic ensembles as Donald Byrds Blackbyrds and Joe Samples Jazz Crusaders, Urban Knights found Lewis collaborating with a bevy of younger musicians and star guests over the years, and VII continues this fruitful tradition. Joining Lewis here is a newly convened Urban Knights ensemble featuring a lineup of noted Chicago-area performers including keyboardist Tim Grant, guitarist Henry Johnson, bassist Joshua Ramos, and drummer Charles Heath. Together they play a vibrant blend of soul-jazz that evokes Lewis classic 70s and 80s albums like 1974s Sun Goddess, 1977s Love Notes, and 1981s Three Piece Suite. In fact, on VII, Lewis revisits a handful of his past tracks including the disco-era title track to his 1977 album Tequila Mockingbird, Baby What You Want Me To Do off 1981s Live at the Savoy, and Sharing Her Journey off 2009s Songs from the Heart: Ramsey Plays Ramsey. He achieves yet more old-school flavor elsewhere reworking Stings Shape of My Heart with vocalist Dee Alexander, and offering a burnished, loungey reading of the Beatles And I Love Her. Also evocative is The Rose, a laid-back and soulful groover featuring trumpeter Maurice Brown. There are two superb solo numbers from Lewis in Dear Lord and Trees, both of which spotlight his elegant, deeply lyrical piano artistry. While it may come in the wake of Lewis entering the final years of his career, VII sparks with the energy and vitality of an artist at the peak of his abilities. ~ Matt Collar |
