Our Take

In the groovy world of jazz, Ramsey Lewis has long been a stalwart, tickling the ivories with finesse and flair. But even for this seasoned maestro, his latest offering, "Black Eye Peas," is a whimsical journey into funky territory.

From the get-go, Lewis's piano chops are on full display, dancing and prancing across the keys with a mischievous glee. The title track, "Black Eye Peas," is a toe-tapper of epic proportions, with a funky bassline that will have you shaking your hips in no time.

But it's not just Lewis's dazzling piano work that steals the show here. The album features a stellar cast of musicians, including the legendary bassist Marcus Miller and drummer Omar Hakim, whose infectious rhythms add a whole new layer of depth to Lewis's already rich sound.

Tracks like "Soulful Strut" and "Boogie Woogie Waltz" showcase Lewis's ability to blend soulful melodies with intricate rhythms, creating a sonic tapestry that is as mesmerizing as it is captivating. And let's not forget Lewis's playful sense of humor, evident in tracks like "Funky Serenity" and "Samba de Orfeu," which will have you smiling from ear to ear.

In short, "Black Eye Peas" is a delightful romp through the mind of a musical genius, a testament to Lewis's enduring talent and boundless creativity. So go ahead, give it a spin, and let the infectious rhythms of Ramsey Lewis sweep you off your feet.
