Ray Charles' - Genius + Soul = Jazz planted a flag in the surface of popular music for Impulse and set the stage for a barrage of now classic releases including Oliver Nelson’s The Blues and the Abstract Truth, Gil Evans’ Out Of The Cool and of course a slew of John Coltrane gems such as Africa/Brass, Live! At The Village Vanguard and Coltrane on through to the sea-changing masterpiece, A Love Supreme.
This is a great album which takes Charles’ signature soul sound and
amplifies it many notches, backed by a killer big band (Count Basie’s,
with arrangements by the legendary Quincy Jones & Ralph Burns).
Placing him behind a smokin’ Hammond B3 organ delivers a bigger sound
than his regular organ or even piano.
