The third in my series of tributes to legendary (and living) pianists: Ramsey Lewis! So many decades of music, beginning with long-running trios and then evolving and incorporating all variety of styles, instruments and sounds. Only could include a few favorites here, but listening to his records takes me back to the very beginnings of my crate-digging obsessions. Hope you enjoy.

A tribute to the great Ahmad Jamal: the second in a series of tributes to some of my favorite pianists. I tried to play some lesser-known (or lesser-sampled) cuts from the legendary pianist, from his trio work, live performances to funky Steely Dan covers.

Tribute to the living legend Herbie Hancock! An adventure through some of the many styles in which Hancock created and ventured, from funk to solo piano. The piano is my favorite instrument, and this is the first in a series of tributes to some of my favorite pianists.
