A fascinating 55-minute three-way conversation between host Mike Cuthbert, the extravagantly gifted and knowledgeable Ramsey Lewis, and his companion--a nicely-tuned grand piano that frequently speaks eloquently on his behalf. Lewis ruminates, both in talk and in melody, about style, the creative process, and a huge constellation of his aesthetic mentors and progeny.
