Bach to the Blues


Bach to the Blues is an album performed by the Ramsey Lewis Trio that was recorded in 1964 and released on the Argo label.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, with its review by Scott Yanow stating: "the group performs five original themes based on classical music, along with four blues-oriented tunes. Although a touch lightweight, the music is enjoyable enough and certainly superior to most of Lewis' output in the 1970s and '80s".
