Ray Charles

Description

One of the original albums released on Impulse! when the label debuted in February 1961, and as the title suggests the album emphasizes Charles as a jazz instrumentalist. He also switched from his usual electric piano to a “churchy” sounding Hammond organ, brought in Count Basie’s band and used Quincy Jones’ hard-blowing arrangements. The success of the album and its single “One Mint Julep” helped put Impulse! on the map. Verve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.

Excluded from sitewide sales/discounts.
