* Koffer mit 7 CDs + 1 DVD
Bei Atlantic Records fand Ray Charles seine erste Label-Heimat – und den fruchtbaren Mutterboden für seine einzigartige Fusion von Jazz, Blues und Gospel. Hier konnte er als singender Pianist, als Leader eines handverlesenen HardBop-Quintets und schließlich als Crooner vor BigBand, Streichern und Background-Sängerinnen seinen Sound weiterentwickeln. Rhino Records, das Spezialisten-Label für die versunkenen Schätze der Musikgeschichte, präsentiert jetzt eine liebevolle Sammlung auf 7 CDs + 1 DVD des gesamten Materials der legendären Atlantic-Jahre des jungen Genies. Die erste Box, die dem einzigartigen Ray Charles gerecht wird.
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, during a career that spanned seven decades. Ray Charles' musical genius is spotlighted in this comprehensive box of his seminal Atlantic Records era, 1952-59.
Here 7 CDs totalling over 9 hours come beautifully packaged in a '50s-inspired record-player case and include:
A massive linen-bound liner notes book featuring an essay by Ahmet Ertegun (who also co-produced this boxed set), an in-depth historical overview by David Ritz, detailed recording session information, and an Atlantic album and singles discography).
Tons of rare photos and the original liner notes for all of the artist's Atlantic LPs, including insightful writing by renowned music scribes Nat Hentoff, Bill Randle, Guy Remark, Billy Taylor, Leonard Feather, and more.
Disc 1 highlights includes 'Mess Around', 'I've Got A Woman', 'Drown In My Own Tears', and 'Hallelujah I Love Her So'.
Disc 2 serves up 'Sweet Sixteen Bars', 'Leave My Woman Alone', 'Ain't That Love', and the full-length version of 'Doodlin''.
Disc 3 opens with 'Rockhouse Parts 1 & 2', and also features 'Talkin' 'Bout You', 'How Long Blues', 'The Genius After Hours', 'Soul Brothers' with Milt Jackson, and many more.
Disc 4 highlights include 'Yes, Indeed!', 'My Bonnie', 'Love On My Mind', and a wealth of live tracks including 'A Fool For You', recorded at Newport in 1958.
Disc 5 boasts more live genius including versions of 'I've Got A Woman', and 'Swanee River Rock', plus 8 cuts from Fathead Ray Charles Presents David Newman, featuring Ray accompanying the great saxophonist on piano.
Disc 6 mines the 8-track stereo motherlode with classics including 'What'd I Say, Parts I & II', The Genius Of Ray Charles with 'Come Rain Or Come Shine' and other tracks, more live gems including '(Night Time Is) The Right Time', from Ray Charles In Person, and his first recorded foray into country, 'I'm Movin' On'.
Disc 7 boasts 27 tracks - all but three previously unissued - from an historic 1953 rehearsal session with Ahmet Ertegun (referenced in the film Ray), never-heard outtakes from the 1958 '(Night Time Is) The Right Time' sessions; plus 7 more unreleased recordings captured in a hotel room on a tour in 1959.
Disc 8 is a DVD featuring nine great performances from Ray Charles On Voice Of America, 1960 (Live At The Newport Jazz Festival, 1960), which also premieres new footage of Ray director Taylor Hackford interviewing Ahmet Ertegun.

Rezensionen
F. Schöler in Rolling Stone 12/05: "Über die Jahrzehnte hat die Firma die Studio- und Live-Aufnahmen endlos in immer wieder neuen Kompilationen veröffentlicht. Jetzt liegen sie in diesem wunderschön aufgemachten "Koffer" erstmals komplett und ohne Überschneidung vor. Besser überspielt als hier wird man das Vermächtnis seiner At- lantic-Ära nicht mehr hören." M. Köhler in Musikexpress 2/06: "Daß der gegen seinen Willen als Genie apostrophierte Charles auch erst einmal sein Handwerk erlernen mußte, zeigen einige eindrucksvolle Beispiele der üppigen 155 remasterten Titel, darunter 35 seltene respektive unveröffentlichte Tracks: Demo- und Rohfassungen der ausgiebig dokumentierten "Rehearsal Sessions" von 1953."- Tracklisting
