We Meet Again is a jazz album by American jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis and Billy Taylor, released in 1989.[1] [2] Lewis and Taylor duet on songs composed by Taylor, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, and Horace Silver, among others.[3]
The Chicago Tribune wrote that "Lewis and Taylor work together elegantly, producing a sound that's big and brassy without being percussive."[4]
Chris Albertson of Stereo Review scribed "Ramsey Lewis's duets with Billy Taylorin "We Meet Again" are well balanced and should appeal to a broad range of tastes. Indeed, while these two pianists continue to pursue individual careers,they seem well on their way to establishing themselves as a team, and their first album together offers a diverse program of compositions by Taylor and fellowpianists John Lewis, Bill Evans, Horace Silver, Denny Zeitlin, Chick Corea, Duke Ellington, and Oscar Peterson.[5] [6]
