(Pre Order) Ray Charles - The Genius After Hours - Analogue Productions SACD

Release Date: TBA

Atlantic 75 Historic Reissue Series from Analogue Productions!

"Taken from the same three sessions as The Great Ray Charles but not duplicating any of the performances, this set casts Charles as a jazz-oriented pianist in an instrumental setting. Brother Charles has five numbers with a trio (three songs have Oscar Pettiford on bass) and jams on three other tunes ('Hornful Soul,' 'Ain't Misbehavin',' and 'Joy Ride') with a septet arranged by Quincy Jones; solo space is given to David 'Fathead' Newman on tenor and alto and trumpeter Joseph Bridgewater. Fine music — definitely a change of pace for Ray Charles." — Scott Yanow, AllMusic, 4.5/5
