    Ramsey Lewis Trio: 'Sound Of Christmas'

    Originally recorded in 1961, Ramsey Lewis’ ​"Sounds of Christmas" might be just 29 minutes long but, like those precious minutes in front of the fireplace wrapped in an imitation bear skin rug, it’s a half hour well spent. Lewis made this record with Eldee Young on bass and Red Holt on drums, they were arguably his best foils ever and, as a trio, they sounded as if they were of one mind.
