Notes
‘Soul + Jazz = Genius’ follows on from ‘The Singles Collection 1952-1958’ (JASCD 506) and ‘The Genius in Person’ (JASCD160) and continues to show the immense style and class of the revered Genius that is, Ray Charles.
Here you have four complete albums that have never been released in one package like this. The Genius hits the Road, Dedicated to you, Soul + Jazz = Genius and Ray Charles & Betty Carter all of which confirm that a ‘Genius’ is exactly what he was.
Includes classic hits like: ‘Georgia on My Mind’, ‘Hit the Road Jack’, ‘One Mint Julep’ and the definitive version of ‘Baby its Cold Outside’ with Betty Carter.
This is another ‘must have’ Ray Charles CD from Jasmine that captures the late great man’s versatility and prowess to write and perform nothing but the best!
