Young met pianist Ramsey Lewis at McKinley High School. They played together until after graduation in 1953, when Young toured with a blues band through the South. However, he was unsatisfied and his preference for jazz and bebop led him to return to Chicago. Lewis, drummer Isaac "Redd" Holt and Young formed the Ramsey Lewis Trio. The three worked hard to improve their skills. Young went on to study at the American Conservatory of Music. The Ramsey Lewis Trio released their first album in 1956, becoming hugely successful. Their albums The In Crowd and Hang on Sloopy went gold and the group sold out Carnegie Hall.

Lewis: Ramsey Emmanuel Lewis, Jr. Chicago, Illinois. May 27, 1935. Brown: If you could tell us your parents’ names and any information about their background, where they were originally from.

    © 2010 Brian Matthew Felix ROCK BECOMES JAZZ: INTERPRETATIONS OF POPULAR MUSIC BY IMPROVISING ARTISTS IN THE 1960s BY BRIAN MATTHEW FELIX THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Jazz Performance in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John “Chip” Stephens, Chair Associate Professor Gabriel Solis, Director of Research Professor Jim Pugh Associate Professor Erik Lund ABSTRACT The advent of rock and roll changed the jazz world’s relationship to itself and its musical public. The popularity of jazz, in decline since the rise of bebop in the mid-1940s, was further eroded by rock and roll’s rise to prominence in the mid-1950s. By the mid-1960s, the jazz world seemed to be faced with a choice: adapt to accommodate the burgeoning new genre or risk fading further into popular irrelevance. Many jazz artists chose to ignore rock, oftentimes viewing it as a simple-minded pursuit dominated by white artists stealing from black musicians. Other artists, though, chose to engage with the new music and bring it into the jazz world by interpreting rock repertoire. In a way, this trend was no different than the time-honored jazz tradition of interpreting contemporary popular songs. Interpreting rock songs and incorporating them into their repertoire was different, though, because of the many prejudices that jazz musicians held toward rock music and the relative simplicity of rock’s musical attributes. This paper is dedicated to the in-depth study of jazz versions of rock music in the 1960s.

  • Ramsey Lewis Bio Oct 2013
    Ramsey Lewis October 2013 Composer, pianist and jazz legend Ramsey Lewis has been referred to as “the great performer,” a title reflecting his performance style and musical selections which display his early gospel playing and classical training along with his love of jazz and other musical forms. A native Chicagoan (born May 27, 1935), Mr. Lewis represents the great diversity of music for which Chicago is noted. Ramsey Lewis first captivated fans with his first album “Ramsey Lewis And The Gentlemen of Swing” by the Ramsey Lewis Trio in 1956. By 1965, he was one of the nation’s most successful jazz pianists, topping the charts with “The In Crowd,” “Hang On Sloopy” and “Wade In The Water.” He has three Grammy Awards and seven gold records to his credit. Often called legendary, Mr. Lewis concedes “It’s a high honor when someone says so, but I don’t see myself that way. What keeps me enthusiastic and energizes me, is the realization that the more I learn, the more I find there is to know.” He received the industry award for the 2006 Stellar Award for Best Gospel Instrumental Album, “With One Voice” presented in January 2007. He was also the recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award in January 2007. Mr. Lewis has received four (4) honorary doctorate degrees and numerous other accolades. Ramsey Lewis began taking piano lessons at the age of four, studying the basics and fundamentals. But, “It wasn’t until I started studying with the late Dorothy Mendelsohn that I responded to some of the startling things she was teaching me, such as ‘Listen with your inner ear,’ and ‘Make the piano sing.’ These concepts were revelations!” Soon after, he began learning Bach, Beethoven, Hadyn, Brahms and Chopin, and other basic piano repertoire for the concert pianist.

  • FROM DREAMLAND to SHOWCASE: JAZZ in CHICAGO, 1912 to 1996 October 1996 – February 1997
    FROM DREAMLAND TO SHOWCASE: JAZZ IN CHICAGO, 1912 TO 1996 October 1996 – February 1997 CASE 1 INTRODUCTION Music and musical entertainment have played an important role in Chicago’s cultural life since the middle of the nineteenth century. Concert music, opera, festivals, conservatories, music publishers, and instrument makers contributed to the developing vitality of America’s second largest city. As the nineteenth century came to a close, Chicago was also becoming a center for vernacular styles such as ragtime piano playing and musical comedy. The publishing of popular sheet music thrived. In the early part of the twentieth century, rapid expansion of the city through ambitious construction projects and the growth of public transportation were among the many factors in the emergence and flourishing of jazz. Post-World War I economic prosperity, the increased climate of social daring, and rebellion against the moralistic attitudes that led to Prohibition all contributed to the Chicago music scene. The excitement of urban life, the migration of vast numbers of African-Americans from the South to Chicago, and intensified interracial awareness and interaction also set the stage for the great array of ballrooms, cabarets, nightclubs, and theaters on the city’s South Side. Improvised in the Dreamland Cafe and other pioneering Chicago nightspots, this strong musical tradition still lives on today in popular venues such as Andy’s, the Green Mill, and the Jazz Showcase. “From Dreamland to Showcase: Jazz in Chicago, 1912 to 1996” presents a chronological survey of jazz music and musicians associated with Chicago, beginning with a brief introduction to the origins and early development of jazz.
