We are excited to be bringing this music to market." Stated Steve McKeever, Hidden Beach CEO

Ramsey Lewis on Ramsey, Taking Another Look
"The idea of the electric quintet came up and having played mostly in an acoustic trio arrangement for twelve-fifteen years, I decided to get together with the guys to see how it felt. The rehearsals went so well that I called in my engineer, Danny Leake and my producer/son, Frayne Lewis to come in and roll tape. I've recorded maybe 65-70 albums, and this album is definitely among the top five."

Residents of Charlotte clearly are finding it less and less affordable to move into a new home, and are paying higher costs for less space.
