VRC EXCLUSIVE - NOVEMBER'S FEATURED TITLE

Ramsey Lewis Trio - Groovin': Live at the Penthouse

VRC EXCLUSIVE - NOVEMBER'S FEATURED TITLE

Ramsey Lewis Trio - Groovin': Live at the Penthouse


The Ramsey Lewis Trio—pianist Lewis, bassist Eldee Young and drummer Isaac “Redd” Holt—was riding high when the group arrived in Seattle to perform at the Penthouse club in October 1962. Available here for the first time—after 63 years—is music from two radio broadcasts recorded during their run at the Penthouse. Working from tapes of the radio broadcasts provided by the family of the Penthouse’s owner, the audio has been carefully restored and was mastered for LP by Ryan K. Smith of Sterling Sound. This album signals a pivotal moment, showcasing how the Trio was building to something bigger. Within three years, they would have a huge finger-snapping pop hit with “The ‘In’ Crowd” and worldwide fame.

November’s exclusive title will also include a limited edition 8.5x11 print. The print includes hand-written notes from the trio, including Ramsey’s note that “it was a gas”—referring to both the shows at the Penthouse and, apparently, the after-effects of club owner Charlie Puzzo’s preparation of a traditional Italian dinner for the band.

Your first title of the VRC subscription will be the featured title of the month you initially subscribe. The Ramsey Lewis Trio is the November release. Quantities could sell out in advance to active VRC members, so subscribing early will guarantee your copy of the Ramsey Lewis Trio exclusive release.
