Review of Ramsey Lewis on "The In-Crowd"
Jazz Masters Moments (NEA Jazz Masters)
NEA Jazz Masters - a series of 10 vignettes (1:00 ? 2:00), focusing on a moment between two artists or a notable jazz moment in time. These are energizing feel-good pieces that inform and entertain along the way.
Especially strong: Ramsey Lewis tells the unassuming origin of his colossal hit, "The In Crowd;" "Slide Hampton on the Art of Improvisation" and "Buddy Defranco on Achieving his Musical Status."
Offered as Black History Programming, but more than appropriate for enhancing and enriching your fundraising sound. They're also worth thoughtful consideration for use during local jazz programming and within ME and ATC cutaways - not as fill, but as a way to promote local jazz programming and your station's jazz brand.
Very tasteful overall, with clean, sparse writing and discreet hosting from Delfeayo Marsalis.
