专辑介绍
by Alex Henderson
One of his more memorable GRP dates of the 1990s, Dance of the Soul finds Ramsey Lewis playing mostly acoustic piano on a variety of material. The CD's main focus is accessible, yet creative, jazz-pop, though Lewis detours into gospel on &Mercy and Grace,& classical on the acoustic solo piano piece &Cante Hondo (Deep Song),& and jazzy R&B on a remake of Teena Marie's 1981 gem &Portuguese Love& (which features the big-voiced singer Donica Henderson). The Chicagoan has some nice solos on melodic instrumentals like &Sub Dude,& &Cancion,& and the Joe Sample-ish &Love's Serenade,& all of which demonstrate that commercial jazz-pop can be creative as well as highly accessible. In fact, these are the sorts of instrumentals one should use to turn pop and R&B fans on to jazz -- they're easy to absorb, but have a lot more substance than the type of mindless &elevator Muzak& that many pop instrumentalists favored in the 1990s. Although not a masterpiece, Dance of the Soul is a decent effort that has more ups than downs.
