Ray Charles + The Count Basie Orchestra (2007)


Ray Charles + The Count Basie Orchestra (2007) SACD

  Oh What A Beautiful Morning emotes Ray Charles to open up this fantastic album right off with a wonderful bang !   Soul and Big Band.....wow..........this is a stunning recording created from the vaults of Fantasy Records using demos of Ray Charles and musically adapted by the Count Basie Orchestra.   This wonderfully soulful album rocks with a little old and a little new.....a bit crooner...a bit soul...a bit Big Band and a whole lot Ray Charles.  The song "Every Saturday Night" is complete with Butter Beans and the most delicious harmonic back up singers that you have ever heard.
  A great album for those who like to really roll ..........
