## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ 







  
  
    The sound quality on this CD is simply dreadful. Great album, lousy sound quality
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2018*

This is a magnificent album, but the sound quality of the two CDs I received was simply dreadful. The sound was low, muffled and not what I would expect from a new CD. Amazon must have gotten a defective lot of CDs, because I complained about the first one and was sent a replacement that was equally bad. It's damned shame because this is a great album, but the sound quality on the CD made it unlistenable.

    Ray Charles Big Band Jazz
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2012*

This is a tremendous double CD set. It's actually 4 albums plus an additional bonus track. Disc 1 features arrangements by Quincy Jones and Ralph Burns. Disc 2 has arrangements by Roger Neumann, Alf Clausen, Teddy Edwards and Jimmy Heath. The personnel passing through includes many jazz greats such as Clark Terry, "Snookie" Young and Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Urbie Green and Steve Turre on trombone, Marshall Royal, Frank Wess, Frank Foster and "Fathead" Newman on sax, Freddie Green on guitar and Sonny Payne and Roy Haynes on drums. Of course there's Ray Charles himself on piano, organ and a few vocals. With so many members from the Count Basie band this is a great lineup. If you love Big Band and Ray Charles the way that I do this must be in your collection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great "Big band" sound, with Ray Charles, produced by Quincy Jones. Excellent and timeless
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2017*

Absolute classic gem!  That's it.  I bought this album when it was originally produced, but maybe did not appreciate it enough. Now, a million years later, I bought it again.  What a stellar recording it is.  Big band/jazz/Ray Charles ? Wonderful.
