Ramsey Lewis's 1971 release on Cadet, Back To The Roots is a soul-jazz record that finds the Chicago pianist leaning into funk and R&B-inflected grooves while keeping one foot in his jazz roots. The album reflects the broader early-70s trend of jazz artists incorporating harder rhythmic elements and electric textures. Lewis was already well established by this point, having scored a major hit with "The In Crowd" in 1965, and this record continues his accessible, rhythm-driven approach to jazz piano.
