DJ Grizz- Ramsey Lewis Mix

Todays mix gives itself over to the Jazz Funk side of things and one of the godfathers of the genre... Ramsey Lewis! Active from the 50's and forming the acclaimed Ramsey Lewis jazz trio in the 60's he crossed over in the 70's and 80's to produce some of the best Jazz Funk tunes out there. The Chicago native is still active at 83 years old! Here's a selection of my favourites of that era.
We kick off with his 1974 collaboration with Earth Wind and Fire with Sun Goddess, there's the equally funky Tequila Mockingbird, we've another collaboration in Spring High- this time with Stevie Wonder, we've a sublime ballad in Love Notes and end on his 80's version of a 60's hit - Les Fleur... plus more!
Back soon.
