Ramsey Lewis - Funky Serenity flac album

Funky Serenity is an album by pianist Ramsey Lewis which was released in 1973 on Columbia Records. The album got to No. 6 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. All compositions by Cleveland Eaton, Morris Jennings and Ramsey Lewis except as indicated. Kufanya Mapenzi (Making Love)" (Eddie Green) - 5:17.

Cleveland Eaton, Ed Greene, and Morris Jennings accompany Ramsey Lewis on this commercial-flavored 1973 release. While jazz/pop/soul versions of "Where Is the Love" and "If Loving You Is Wrong" come off limp, spacy renditions of "Nights in White Satin"; Eaton, Jennings, and Lewis' two compositions, "Serene Funk" and "Dreams"; and a beautiful interpretation of Thom Bell and Linda Creed's "Betcha by Golly Wow" make this an enjoyable and essential reissue.

Funky Serenity Original recording, HiFi Sound. Ramsey Lewis Format: Vinyl. Produced by Teo Macero,who most famously produced Miles Davis this album does in fact reach towards musical territory explored by Miles during this era. With bassist Cleveland Eaton in addition to drummer Morris Jennings and electric violinist Ed Green this album represented some very different musical directions for Ramsey. Gone were concise soul-jazz standards full of heavy rhythm and the blues. And in are tunes such as "Kufanya Mapenzi",drapped in this captivating wall of percussion and some very atonal clavinet solos from Ramsey himself
