The Ramsey Lewis Trio - Bach to the Blues (1964) LP

For this set by pianist Ramsey Lewis, bassist Eldee Young (Richard Evans plays bass on two songs when Young switches to cello), and drummer Red Holt, 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.
