I discovered his music back when PBS was showing Ramsey Lewis' Legends Of Jazz series on their HD feed. I liked it so much that I started buying jazz CDs like crazy plus the DVDs of the series and the best of the series "Legends of Jazz: Showcase" Blu-Ray back before the prices for the Blu-Ray went crazy.
