9 O'clock Jazz Special for 5/18
By: Blaise Lantana on 05/17/2012
Pianist Ramsey Lewis is more than Wade in the Water. He started playing piano at 4 in his hometown of Chicago and had his own jazz band at 15. In the 60s he had 3 huge pop hits with his piano trio, The In Crowd, Hang on Sloopy, and Wade in the Water. All three went gold and made Ramsey Lewis a star. He is still a jazz musician and has done his own radio and television programs focusing on jazz. Hear the best of composer pianist Ramsey Lewis tonight on the 9 O'clock Special
