4 out of 5 stars Breezy Jazz From The Windy City.......2000-02-21

Ramsey Lewis, like BB King and Quincy Jones, serves as a jazz ambassador and transitional figure. His 60s work on Chess with the Ramsey Lewis trio, later collaborations with Earth Wind & Fire (founded by his Trio drummer, Maurice White) and pianist Billy Taylor, and his radio, TV and Web site exposure have brought his form of traditional jazz to a new group of musicians.

Longtime fans will not be dissapointed by 1993's "Sky Islands." Lewis' occassionally missteps: John Lennon's "Julia" is performed too lushly considering the original's stark treatment, while "Love Will Find A Way" was at best a second-tier Lionel Richie song. But his piano playing here balances smooth, traditional, and R&B jazz in a way not done since the Crusaders' peak years (and consistent with the general philosophy of GRP Records, his label.) Highlights include a suprisingly effective medley of Lewis' 60s hits, a seductive version of Janet Jackson's "Come Back To Me," Lewis' and White's collaboration with Art Porter on "Who Are You," the EW&F-based title track, and the gentle "Song For Jan."

5 out of 5 stars Aural Bliss, Dreaming Awake.......2006-11-04

Paul Avgerinos' "Muse of the Round Sky" is a wonderfully expansive dreamscape that fans of New Age and World Music will enjoy having in their collection. Rich in aural textures, musically mature, this is the perfect recording to put on when you're needing some time for soul-searching, an armchair vacation, quiet contemplation, or simple solitude. Insert this CD in your player and let Avgerinos carry you away to the distant shores of your most satisfying dreams. Highly recommended!
