That begs a question:  Why did you attend so many "high school jazz band competitions"?

Personally, I prefer this one, though it's not quite as on-topic for a music station.

  Well, I can only wish.... This came on right after a huge conflagration between me and my brother. Neither of us won. I needed something that would reinstate my positive groove, and this did it. I wish Dave Brubeck's "Take 5" was next, but alas, a new set, a new groove.

As popular as this is with us listeners, I'm surprised that this is the only Ramsey Lewis in the RP library.

Thank goodness, I'm already a believer. Ramsey Lewis Trio is just beyond great. I'm doing that silly "desk-dance" that people do when they're at a computer - moving my shoulders, shifting in my seat as much as I can, feet tapping... I know I look like the world's biggest dork, but with this music, I don't even give a whooping funt. {#Dancingbanana_2}

Fun. And only on RP. This makes me want to donate. Note because I'm a huge fan of the song. But because Bill has cajones to vary his playlist to such a fun, vocal, unruly crowd of listeners as us all.

Wow. That must have been some show. Pretty sure there's a lot of mutual admiration between Lewis and Brubeck, a couple of pros.
