Rhino’s new 180gr 50th Anniversary edition of an all-time Atlantic Records classic!

Ray Charles is a music legend beyond compare. A ten-time Grammy-winning superstar who almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for soul music, Charles proved his mastery with countless jazz, country, R&B, and pop masterpieces as well, during a career that spanned seven decades. His remarkable life was celebrated in the 2004 biopic Ray – featuring Jamie Foxx’s Oscar-winning performance as the artist. His time at the Atlantic label (1952-1959) is seminal for music fans the world over.

Recorded in 1957, and featuring a stellar band including bassist Oscar Pettiford, saxophonist David ‘Fathead’ Newman, as well as arrangements by Quincy Jones, this all-instrumental set is Ray Charles’ first jazz album
