[AGL] Ramsey Lewis, Dave Brubeck

[Fontaine Maverick]

Had a beautiful evening at the Paramount last night (much better birthday gift than an MP3 player). Ramsey Lewis played for about an hour - I think he is still at the top of his game Cooool jazz, some pop (In wit de in crowd was played, of course) all the guys in the trio are fine musicians (bass, drum, piano). 

Brubecks set was also beautiful, no one plays the piano like him, but it was clear to this fan that the arrangements had been changed to let the sax player take on more of each piece - I think the kind of  playing he did in the old days must take more energy than an eighty six year old can manage. I am glad I got to see him again.
