RAMSEY LEWIS - SUN GODDESS - 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION COLUMBIA/SONY KC33194 - to this day is one of the BEST instrumentals on the planet with its gorgeous melody & sleek groove. Ramsey Lewis, a master keyboardist and jazz legend in his own right combines forces with the "elements" to make this musical gem. Not only does EWF lend an unforgettable vocal melody, with Maurice and Phillip on percussion, Verdine and Johnny Graham on guitar, Don Myrick on sax and Charles Stepney on fender rhodes, "Sun Goddess" is the epitome of a classic jazz masterpiece. The drumming on this track is amazing as all other solos (check out Myrick's sax and Verdine's bass...too funky!) "Sun Goddess" is 8 1/2 minutes of bliss.
The seventies vibe continues flowing with "Living for the City". The S.Wonder interpretation is laced heavily with rhodes and a punchy string arrangement by Richard Evans. "Love Song" features Cleveland Eaton on upright and fender bass while Ramsey puts in serious work on all 4 kinds of keys as well as guitar. The horns and strings on this track add just the right flavor. "Jungle Strut" is a fun track that showcases the playful verbal antics of Derf Rehlew Raheem, adding African ryhthmic sound effects and dialect. "How Dawgit", like the title track was produced by Maurice White and features the smooth vocals of Phillip Bailey. "Tambura" has a spacey feel to it with its sound effects and percussive arrangement. Kinda brings the image of Bootsy Collins en route to the moon to mind. "Gemini Rising" is another great track on which Maurice Jennings drumming and C.Eaton's bass playing stand out, especially on the solos within the song. Ramseys keys ride the track smoothly.
Overall Sun Goddess is a great ALBUM for jazz lovers or anyone who wants to slip back down memory lane and relax in the mid 70's. Go ahead and put those platforms, bell bottoms, sunglasses and apple caps Right On!
