Product Information

Nachdem dieses vielumjubelte Projekt bereits 2006 auf CD veröffentlicht wurde, erscheint nun die Collector’s Edition auf SACD. Telarc-Toningenieur Michael Bishop setzt dem Meisterwerk seine Krone auf, in dem er einen 5.1 Surround-Mix anfertigte: Wir haben es mit diesem Mehrkanal-Mix geschafft, das grandiose Zusammenwirken zwischen Ray Charles und dem Count Basie Orchester noch mehr zu verdeutlichen.

Product Information:


Ray Sings, Basie Swings combines archival, never-before-heard Ray Charles vocal recordings with brand-new performances by the Count Basie Orchestra. This ground breaking CD gives listeners the unprecedented experience of hearing Ray Charles at the dazzling peak of his vocal prowess. Ray Sings, Basie Swings was created with the most up-to-date recording and mixing technology, offering sound quality that is state-of-the art.

A Project Summary….The producers of this CD discovered archival reels of Ray Charles and the Count Basie Orchestra performing live together in 1973. Although the vocals were superior, the remaining elements were of extremely poor quality. They decided to bring the current Basie Orchestra into the studio and, using the latest technology, they carefully and painstakingly laid down a new instrumental backdrop for Charles’ towering vocals.

“Ray Charles and Count Basie were two of the most charismatic personalities I’ve ever known. I loved them both. So to hear this amazing collaboration of their musical geniuses is a treat of the highest order. When 21st century technology and timeless soul come together, watch out! This one is for the ages.” --- Quincy Jones
