4 out of 5 stars Ramsey Lewis - Sound of Christmas   March 3, 2008
M. Ryan (Sault Ste. Marie, ON Canada)
I'm usually not too keen on Jazz Christmas albums but I heard one track from this CD (Santa Claus is Coming to Town) on an episode of House and was completely taken by it. On most jazz recordings you can have a hard time finding the original melody (and that does occur on this CD) but the musicianship is so good that I tended to overlook that aspect of the recording. I like my Christmas music to sound traditional but this CD will definitely get a spot on my playlist for next Christmas.

This album is over 40 years old and is still one of my favorite Christmas albums. Ramsey Lewis at his best!

Sound of Christmas is a Ramsey Lewis classic. If you like Ramsey Lewis, You'll love this. If you don't know Ramsey Lewis but like soft piano jazz, you should try it. It's a favorite for me.

The Ramsey Lewis Trio consisted of piano, bass and drums. They played instrumental jazz in an accessible style that was popular even with people who generally didn't like jazz. This Christmas album was released in 1961. The first side of the album featured just the trio, while the second side featured the trio plus a string section. The material consists of jazzy versions of well known Christmas songs, plus two very good originals ("Christmas Blues" and "The Sound of Christmas"). It's a very enjoyable album that even jazz haters will like.
