Ray Charles Genius + Soul = Jazz 2010 Ray Charles spent the 1950s and 1960s transforming the atomic American musics of gospel, the blues, R&B and country into what has been tagged 'soul.' Should jazz have been immune to his considerable charms?

No, of course not. During the early 1960s, Charles was making his transition from Atlantic Records to ABC Records. This transition was surrounded by the releases of The Genius Sings The Blues (Atlantic, 1961), The Genius After Hours (Atlantic, 1961), The Genius Hits the Road (ABC, 1960) and Genius + Soul = Jazz (ABC, 1961).

Here released in an expanded, 2-CD set, Genius + Soul = Jazz signaled that Charles was not merely interested in producing marketable pop music, but that he was also intent on expanding his, and as a result the public's, musical palette. Charles had already transformed gospel and R&B into soul, in the 1950s, with single releases such as 'I Got A Woman' (1955), 'Hallelujah I Love Her So' (1956) and 'What'd I Say' (1959). Leaving Atlantic for ABC, Charles continued his genre-bending assault on American music with 'Georgia On My Mind' (1960) and 'Hit The Road Jack' (1961), and in 1961 also released three singles taken from Genius + Soul = Jazz: 'I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town,' 'I've Got News For You' and 'One Mint Julep.' Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music (ABC) would come in the next year and Charles' jazz series— My Kind Of Jazz (Tangerine, 1970), Jazz Number II (Tangerine, 1972), and My Kind Of Jazz, Part 3 (Tangerine, 1975)—would follow a decade later. Concord Music Group and producer Nick Phillips have assembled the original Genius + Soul = Jazz and Charles' three Tangerine jazz albums into this 2-CD set. The odd-man-out on this release is 'Misty,' arranged by trombonist and originally released on the trombonist's (Telarc, 1999).

This set bests Rhino's 1997 coupling of Genius + Soul = Jazz and My Kind of Jazz by two-thirds with the addition of the whole Jazz catalog. The insert retains the original liner notes written by Dick Katz and Quincy Jones, and new notes, dramatically expanded from the original, by Will Friedwald.

Genius + Soul = Jazz is the opening salvo by the Concord Music Group of a series of reissues of the Charles' ABC material. The original Genius + Soul = Jazz was recorded at Studios in Englewood Cliffs, NJ, late in 1960. The music had the unfiltered blues-riff sound of the 1940s band with a little something extra.

The Basie part is authentic—Charles employed the majority of the Count's contemporary band that included the likes of trumpeters and, tenor saxophonists and, guitarist and drummer. The little something else might be Charles playing organ, predating 's Verve big band outings of the mid-1960s. But there is something else, an indescribable something that tempers any genre with soul.

That is Ray Charles. The session was produced. The arrangers included longtime Charles associate Quincy Jones and Ralph Burns and were recorded over December 26-27, 1960. The LP was was originally released on ABC's newly minted imprint, Impulse!, the second release for the famous label (after trombonists' and Kai Winding's The Great Kai and J.J. (Impulse!, 1960).
