Join us at Middle C Jazz for an unforgettable evening as acclaimed pianist Charles Craig pays homage to his mentor, the iconic Ramsey Lewis, in a heartfelt straight-ahead jazz tribute.

Ramsey Lewis, a three-time Grammy winner and NEA Jazz Master, captivated the world by bridging jazz and pop with timeless hits like “The ‘In’ Crowd,” “Wade in the Water,” and “Sun Goddess.” His signature sound—a seamless blend of classical precision, gospel warmth, and R&B flair—paired with his charismatic stage presence, turned him into a global jazz phenomenon. Beyond performing, Lewis’s legacy as a teacher, broadcaster, and jazz advocate cemented his role as a true ambassador of the genre.
