Ramsey Lewis – Wade In The Water (Cadet Records LPS 774): The Jazz Classic That Defined Soul Jazz

Cadet Records 1966  LPS 774

notes:

Few jazz recordings have crossed over into mainstream popularity
 as successfully as "Wade In The Water" by Ramsey Lewis. Released 
on Cadet Records as LPS 774, this landmark album captures the energy,
 groove, and accessibility that helped bring soul jazz to 
a wider audience during the 1960s.
The title track, a vibrant interpretation of the traditional spiritual 
"Wade In The Water," became one of Ramsey Lewis' biggest hits. 
Combining infectious rhythms, memorable piano lines, and the tight
 interplay of the Ramsey Lewis Trio, the recording resonated with 
both jazz enthusiasts and popular music listeners alike.
