REVIEW

In the half-century between his earliest recordings in the 1950s and his death in 2004, Ray Charles ascended to icon status

He left behind his mark on virtually every form of American popular music that emerged in the latter half of the 20th century

Nowhere was this more evident than in his live performances, where one was likely to hear shades of blues, soul, R&B, jazz, gospel, country and more in a single evening

Indeed, sometimes in a single song

To put it simply, the Right Reverend did it all

All of these subtle shades and styles are evident on Ray Charles "Live In Concert"

Originally released by ABC-Paramount in early 1965, "Live In Concert" captured Ray at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in September 1964

»There could be no more uplifting live musical experience than digging Ray Charles and his mighty orchestra in their prime,« says roots music historian Bill Dahl

Indeed, the 15-piece orchestra backing Ray on this date - assembled just a few years earlier in 1961 - boasted no less than a dozen horns

Including formidable saxophonists David 'Fathead' Newman, Hank Crawford and Leroy 'Hog' Cooper, all of whom had been with Ray since his days as a leader of smaller combos

A huge piece of the Ray Charles legacy is his mastery of any style he touched

And his ability to make it his own in a way that no other artist could - powers that can only come from an innate sense of adventure and spontaneity that are fully evident in Ray Charles "Live In Concert"

Recorded by Wally Heider, a true on-location recording legend
