damn. missin him already. his rendition of “america” wells me up. off to cue 'im up.
jeez they dont come any bigger than ray…i’m gutted to say the least…up there with elvis, miles, bb king, and coltrane in my books as one of the great innovators of the last century…check out his jazz recordings for proof of the breadth of his ability; even if he didnt have that great voice he could have made it as a straight ahead jazz pianist…
This 2-disc comp is the only Ray I have but damn it’s got some great songs. What a loss.
