GREAT GOSPEL JAZZ PIONEERS: Were of Almost Equal Importance--The Fusion of Which Reflects His Part 1: Ramsey Lewis Signature Gospel Jazz Musical Style of Today
By Terrence Richburg © 2008 The phenomenal musical artistry of Ramsey Lewis is vastly celebrated throughout the world by audiences of all walks of life.
