That's right, Doc, I've corrected it. Thanks.
RépondreSupprimerOoh...this is real nice! I've never seen this one and I'm surprised to learn Ray played alto sax! Thanks Patrick!
RépondreSupprimerGlad you like it, Soulpapa.
RépondreSupprimerRay recorded this album with Milt Jackson and Connie Kay—two members of the Modern Jazz Quartet—plus Kenny Burrell on guitar. It’s a great album with a touch of blues—really enjoyable!!
Thank you for your comment
Looks like a great album. Ray Charles has been a favorite of mine since the 1960s..
