This NJPAC exclusive brings together two of the jazz world’s most distinctive pianist-composers. For more than five decades, Ahmad Jamal has been acclaimed for the percussive, charismatic swing of his playing, and for his daringly inventive solos on both original compositions and American standards. Ramsey Lewis has long been one of America’s most influential jazz artists, the eternally-hip player and arranger behind propulsive, chart-topping renditions of “The In Crowd,” “Hang On Sloopy,” “Wade in the Water” – even pop classics by the likes of The Beatles and The Supremes. Don’t miss this evening of funky, happy, piano-fueled jazz – only at NJPAC. Presented as part of NJPAC's Alternate Routes.
