Representing the great musical diversity of his hometown of Chicago, composer, pianist, and jazz legend Ramsey Lewis is most notably referred to as “the great performer.” Lewis’ performance style and musical selections highlight his early days of gospel playing and classical training, along with his passionate love for jazz. Lewis has reached acclamation as one of the nation’s most successful jazz pianists, and has received three Grammy Awards and seven gold records.  His repertoire, however, does not end there.  Recently awarded Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts, Lewis also hosts a Chicago weekday morning drive-time radio show, “The Ramsey Lewis Morning Show,” syndicated nationwide.
