Here we present 40 of Ray’s most notable works and accompany them with a superb DVD performance taken from a performance recorded live at the Antibes Jazz Festival 1961. Lost for fifty years, these recently discovered concerts show Ray Charles in his prime period with the original Raelettes and his most legendary band (including David ‘Fathead’ Newman and Hank Crawford). These first concerts, opened the door for Ray Charles to become one of the most revered international stars that America has ever produced. This DVD captures Ray Charles at the peak of his powers, the very essence of “genius”.
