To celebrate his 85th birthday, three time Grammy winner and NEA Jazz Master pianist Ramsey Lewis will be performing a special live stream concert Saturday May 30th, with a portion of the proceeds going to The Jazz Foundation of America.

Ramsey Lewis has been a major jazz force since the 1950s, with his open mind and crossover style allowed him to venture into the R&B and pop worlds, breaking through with Grammy-winning 1965 album The In Crowd.

This will be an extra special event considering that Ramsey is no longer touring. It will be a look behind the curtain, as it will be live from Ramsey's home in the room that he practices in and he will be telling the stories behind the hit songs he has made for the past six decades.
