Farewell to Ramsey Lewis Ramsey Emmanuel Lewis Jr. (May 27, 1935 – September 12, 2022) was an American jazz composer, pianist, and radio personality. Lewis recorded over 80 albums and received five gold records and three Grammy Awards in his career. He was from my hometown of Chicago, and I, like many, was inspired by his music. #jazzpianist #chicagoartist #musicalgiant www.warrenwestmusic.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CicghvBOYos/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
The New Standard is the fortieth album by jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, released in 1996 on Verve. It consists of jazz renditions of classic and contemporaneous rock and R&B songs. It features an all-star sextet with saxophonist Michael Brecker, guitarist John Scofield, bassist Dave Holland, percussionist Don Alias and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
“… it is doubtful that any of these songs will ever become a jazz standard, Herbie Hancock has successfully created a memorable set of “new” music. Well worth investigating.” – Scott Yanow/AllMusic.

Michael Brecker – tenor and soprano saxophone
John Scofield – acoustic and electric guitar, electric sitar
Dave Holland – acoustic bass
