A must for everyone's jazz collection This must be the best value jazz double album ever. Two jazz music icons combine together in historic sessions, 9 sensational tracks in September 1957 and 5 unforgettable numbers in April 1958. Hear Ray Charles play jazz, blues and gospel style piano, and, a rare treat, swinging and bluesy alto sax, and Milt Jackson, most famous for his virtuoso vibes work with the Modern Jazz Quartet, showing his versatility on guitar and piano as well. Supported by great MJQ drummer Connie Kay, bassist Oscar Pettiford, and guitarist Skeeter Best plus numerous others, the combination produces unforgettable jazz music with the emphasis on the blues. The quality of the recording is so good that if you close your eyes it feels as if you are in the same room as all of these marvellous musicians and they are playing just for you. I first heard 5 of the tracks in 1961 on the album ‘Soul Brothers’, and finally bought my own import copy in 1972 for £3.00. How much is that in today’s money? Miles more than the price today, and the music sounds as fresh as ever. I can’t stop playing it even after so many years. Go on treat yourself. You won’t regret it.Read full review
