I had always wanted to see Ramsey Lewis perform and now i finally got my wish. It was a five star performance at the Balboa Theatre in San Diego. Mr. Ramsey is one of the last iconic jazz pianist around. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to see Ray Charles, and George Duke before they left us. However, I did see Joe Sample before he passed. These are pianist that I considered to be great in what they contributed to the world of music. Fortunately we still have Bob James, Bob Baldwin, David Benoit, Brian Simpson, and Brian Culbertson around. But as far as I am concern, Ramsey is in a class all by himself.
Really enjoyed the show and the venue. I hope that I will have another chance to see Mr. Ramsey tickle the ivory again soon. He played all the hits of the 1970's to present that I have enjoyed listening too. May God Bless you Mr. Ramsey and give you continued health and strength to please your audiences.
