Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz

Ray Charles' iconic 'Genius + Soul = Jazz' (Impulse) plus the bonus album 'The Genius Of Ray Charles' (Atlantic), includes 20-page booklet with new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and by Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

This album finds Ray Charles working with the Basie orchestra and with Quincy Jones and Ralph Burns as arrangers, a partnership perfectly aligned to give the session both maximum creative integrity and maximum audience appeal. - Penguin Guide To Jazz

Within this galvanizing orchestra of phenomenal energy and dazzling sound in every sense, The Genius' voice and organ find a greater force than ever. - Jazz Magazine
