 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Outstanding.

Full title is: Ray Sings, Basie Swings


The producers of this CD discovered archival reels of Ray Charles and the Count Basie Orchestra performing live on the same bill in 1973. Although the vocals were superior, the remaining elements were of extremely poor quality. They decided to bring the current Count Basie Orchestra into the studio and, using the latest technology, they carefully and painstakingly laid down a new musical backdrop for Charles' towering vocals. 'Ray Charles and Count Basie were two of the most charismatic personalities I've ever known. I loved them both. So to hear this amazing collaboration of their musical geniuses is a treat of the highest order. When 21st century technology and timeless soul come together, watch out! This one is for the ages'.-Quincy Jones
