Product Description:
Ray Charles has experienced a longevity in the music business that is nothing short of astounding. Thrilling audiences with his unique mix of rock, R&B, and soul since the 1950s, Mr. Charles is a true legend. This performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival finds Mr. Charles in fine form as he plays some of his best loved material.
Amazon.com:
There are few absolutes in this world, but Ray Charles, an artist to whom hackneyed terms like legend and genius actually do apply, is one of them. So even if more intimate venues are usually preferable to cavernous concert halls like Montreux's, any Ray is good Ray. Filmed in 1997, the 18-song, 73-minute show features Charles's big band visiting very familiar ground ("Busted," "What'd I Say," "I Can't Stop Loving You," and, of course, "Georgia on My Mind"), along with some less obvious choices (a swinging rendition of the Oscar Peterson instrumental "Scotia Blues" and a very funky "Watch Them Dogs," featuring the Raelettes). DVD bonus features include a text bio and timeline, but the unquestioned highlight is the voiceover track by the man himself, in which he offers anecdotes from the past, insight into specific songs, and a healthy dose of humor and soul. Great stuff. --Sam Graham

If you know Ray Charles from his R&B concerts you're in for a surprise with this 58- minute concert taped at the Montreux Jazz Fest in Switzerland in 1997. Ray sits at a small keyboard, not a piano, and is backed by a large 15-piece "big band"! For the first number - "Mr. Ray Charles" - the band overpowers his vocals and drowns him out. But things get MUCH better after that. His hits are all here with big band arrangements but there's also songs like "Mississippi Mud" which you wouldn't hear at a ... Read More

This CD is a great example of Ray's live show with his band and the Raelettes. Audio is generally good, although there are a few mixing difficulties.
I really enjoy this one, though. Just a concert performance straight through. No edits, no enhancements, just Ray with the band.

I enjoyed this concert. The audio was fairly good although several horn solos were poorly recorded so they were barely audible. The camera angles must have been quite restricted because throughout the DVD the right side of the same 'bone player's face kept being shown. The Raylette's were fun to watch. The DVD featured a good number of tunes. I recommend it!

I read a review, where someone points out that the sounds quality is'nt that great. Maybe so (i did'nt hear it), but who cares? It's Ray Charles and seeing him working his keyboard without sound at all is a real pleasure.
The sound is great for anyone who just want's to enjoy the briliance and the genius of soul Ray charles.
I saw more dvd's of ray (for example "in miami with Diane Schuur" where mr. charles whas less active and looking much older. althoug he is (was) ... Read More

I was a fan of Ray's since childhood when my grandmother used to play his music all of the time. I didn't realize the genius of the man until I got older. The man played many instruments,including the sax, trumpet, and of course the piano that we associate with him, just to name a few. The Genius besides being an accomplished musician was also an accomplished music writer, arranger and producer. Watching this DVD concert left me wanting more and made me appreciate the genius of the man so much more. ... Read More
