What a fine concert! Ramsey Lewis and his combo/band were classy virtuosos. This concert was well worth the money (way less than $100 for both tickets!!), and the seats were great. Songstress Ida McBeth was also a treat.
Incredible set of musicians, everyone amazing. Played old standards and wonderful solos.
The concert was amazing! Ramsey made the crowd a part of the music and really played to the make-up of the group. The musicians had everyone on their feet begging for more. The talent of the musicians was unbelievable! Ramsey graciously made sure that every musician was featured at least twice during the concert so the listeners could see the influence each played in the makeup of the music. Want more!! Mr. Lewis's talent at the piano rivals that of anyone. The nuances and feeling he can produce from the keys is stunning.
The show started on time, the adult crowd and atmosphere was excellent. He did an outstanding performance. He allowed the other band members to do solo's to promote their talents.
I enjoyed every aspect of the show. All the musicians preformed with greatness.
He was fantastic. He sure can still TICKLE the IVORIES!
Just a really nice classy concert. Great to see someone of his age still performing and sounding awesome!
I was disappointed with the music by Terrence Blanchard. Ramsey more than made the night
I was enthralled all evening. Almost 2 hour concert and the man is 80 yrs old and didn't look the least bit fatigued at the end - looked like he could keep going for another 2 hours! The musicians accompanying him NEVER overpowered his playing which is a sign of good musicians. He played jazz, some gospel, he is very personable and gave commentary periodically throughout the evening. You can tell he still very much enjoys performing and being on stage. I am SO grateful I was able to see him in concert.
One of the best concerts I've ever been to. The Ramsey Lewis quartet played beautiful music. They were so smooth you felt like you were along for a smooth ride.
Ramsey Lewis is truly a jazz master and his band are indeed excellent musicians, my fiance and I TRULY ENJOYED the concert*
Such unbelievable talent..The entire audience was engaged and amazed!
Superb performance the venue was excellent .I had remarkable time
It was a memorable evening, John Pizzarelli did great with Nat King Cole . And of course Ramsey Lewis took the bouquet, he is always will be the best in my book.
My dad taught me to dance to Nat Cole and later, listening to Ramsey Lewis became my own personal background sound. So for me the concert was a "perfect storm", albeit a good one. Matching Lewis with John Pizzarelli is magic, for their artistic styles complement each other resulting in a lovely memorable evening of music. Now I wish they would release a CD of the tour "songbook".
Too much Dee Dee Bridgewater and not enough Ramsey Lewis. Ramsey maybe played 4 complete songs. He played parts of many in what you might call a compendium. This is a shame since he is one of the great legends of jazz and maybe the greatest jazz pianist ever. Dee Dee Bridgewater, on the other hand seemed to be the focus of more than half the show. While she is talented and has a very good voice for certain kinds of songs, (unfortunately not for others), she wasn't who I was paying my money to see. She is the secondary person on the bill board not the primary.
Enjoyed the concert very much. Ramsey Lewis performance could have been a little longer.
this was the 2nd time of seen Ramsey Lewis - he is amazing!
Great ! The music was smooth, funky, electric, good jazz. I enjoyed my self. My wife moved with the music. Everyone around us was enjoying themselfs.
It was not what I expected. I thought it moved too slow and Ramsey chose to play almost classical rather than the majority of the popular "jazz" tunes. Smallest crowd I have ever witnessed at the Birchmere...which said something too. My rating, fair and almost poor!!
