An interesting LP from Jazz artist Ramsey Lewis, combining Disco, Funk, Jazz and Classical music.

The disco tracks here (albeit jazz-funk tinged) are the Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In medley, Dancin' and the superb "Every Chance I Get (I'm Gonna Love You)".

The Intermezzo / SpaÒoletta / Don't Cry for Me Argentina / Intermezzo suite on Side B is classical music. The sleeve insert boasts of the many genres of music Ramsey is capable of, which intriguingly didn't include disco!
