Ramsey Lewis Trio – The In Crowd (Verve By Request)

One of the first soul jazz icons of the mid-’60s, Ramsey Lewis recorded The In Crowd over three days during a 1965 club date at the Bohemian Caverns in Washington, D.C. Highlights from this lively collection include the bluesy “Since I Fell For You”, the groove on “Tennessee Waltz”, and the infectious title track, a cover of Dobie Gray’s Top 40 hit. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
