5つ星のうち4.0 額縁の中の“ジーニアス”
2004年8月6日に日本でレビュー済み
　1960年録音の“Genius+Soul=Jazz”と1970年頃録音の“My Kind of Jazz”の2 in 1 アルバム。ひとことで言って、これはアレンジを聴くアルバムだ。とくに前者のほうは。クインシー・ジョーンズとラルフ・バーンズが半分ずつ担当し、10曲中6曲がベイシー・バンド。ベイシーの席にレイ・チャールズがかわりに座った感じだ。残る4曲のビッグバンドもジョー・ワイルダー、ジミー・クリーヴランド、バド・ジョンスン、ロイ・ヘインズ等々じつに贅沢な顔ぶれ。
　そういう恵まれた環境で、レイが思いきりジーニアスぶりを発揮するかと思いきや、意外におとなしい。オルガンもヴォーカルもいつも通りなのだが、あまり主役という感じがしないのだ。バックが凄すぎた？そうかも知れない。「レイ・チャールズを含むビックバンド」といったほうが実際に近い。はじめて聴いたときはあれれと思ったが、アレンジがとにかくかっこいいし、フランク・フォスターやフィリップ・ギルボーのソロも聴けるし、十分満足できる仕上がりだ。
　“My Kind of Jazz”も趣向は同じ。ビッグバンドという額縁の中でレイがヴォーカルとピアノを聴かせるというもの。バンドメンバーのソロはこちらの方がはるかに多い。曲目はどちらもジャズファンをターゲットにしているように思えるが、どうだろう。ソウルファンの方、サンプルをクリックしてみて。

5つ星のうち5.0 ray charles puts impulse in the black

Just prior to the beginning of the new decade in late 1959, Ray Charles surprised the music industry by leaving Atlantic Records, the premiere rhythm and blues label in America, to sign with ABC Records. Supported by the deeper pockets of the American Broadcasting Company / Paramount theater chain merger, ABC lured him away with a better contract and, in a deal that should be the legal standard if business was run fairly, ownership of his record masters.

After changing the face of R&B while on Atlantic, indeed almost single-handedly inventing the genre that came to be known as soul music, Charles turned to broader horizons while at ABC. His first two R&B top ten singles echoed his trademark sound at Atlantic, but his single "Georgia on My Mind" showed his formidable abilities as an interpreter of the great pre-rock and roll American Songbook. Not only was it his first single to place higher on the main pop singles chart (#1) rather than the rhythm and blues chart (#3), but it became such a signature for Charles that his version of "Georgia" has become definitive.

In 1961, ABC launched its Impulse jazz label, over the course of time linked forever with John Coltrane. However, even with deep pockets and in a time when jazz albums could be profitable, starting up a new label is always a risk. Under the terms of his unique contract and after issuing two albums of standards for ABC, Charles turned to recording a big-band instrumental album for Impulse utilizing top session musicians including members of the Count Basie band. The arrangements were done by Ralph Burns, a veteran from the swing era who had worked with Charles at Atlantic, and Quincy Jones, an old friend from his days in Seattle.

Charles also altered his approach by playing organ rather than piano or electric piano. The result yielded a #4 LP with three top 40 hits on the R&B chart, including one which went top ten on the main pop chart, "One Mint Julep." Fabulous sales for a jazz album, it was the second release by Impulse and essentially paved the way for everything after. Most start-ups don't begin with a hit, and putting the label immediately in profits kept the corporate bosses happy and gave Impulse the leeway to become, by mid-decade, the home for the usually non-commercial music of the avant-garde and politically activist "new thing" of the 1960s post-free jazz era. The opportunity to record the fairly astringent and un-easy on the ears jazz of Archie Shepp, Pharaoh Sanders, Albert Ayler, Marion Brown, and others is owed in no small measure to the success of this album by Ray Charles.

Genius+Soul=Jazz itself is an acclaimed classic, one of the great albums in the Ray Charles catalogue. With Ray's organ front and center, Charles reinforces the gospel connection both to soul and jazz, gospel being the key influence in the style of jazz that came about around the same time as Charles' soul music, the hard bop of the mid-1950s. He covers the Gershwins' "Strike Up the Band" and Bobby Timmons' anthem for Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers "Moanin'" with equal verve, the hits including the great "I've Got News for You" dazzle, and the backing and arrangements are first rate. If the album has one caveat, it is the introduction of Philip Guilbeau, a new discovery that Charles opted to spotlight. Given ample time throughout the record, to these ears Guilbeau is a decent trumpet player unfortunately occupying solo spots that should have gone to the great Basie men of that era such as Clark Terry, Thad Jones, and Frank Foster. A minor issue, to be sure.

The 1997 Rhino reissue pairs this album with another big-band instrumental album by Charles, My Kind of Jazz from 1970. While not reaching the heights of G+S=J, in effervescent spirits Charles romps through more hard bop touchstones such as Benny Golson's "I Remember Clifford," Timmons' "This Here," Horace Silver's "Señor Blues," and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder," the latter a hit in 1964 back when jazz singles could still become hits. Some reviewers rate this reissue lower because of the inclusion of the second album; rather look at it as a great classic with a pleasing chaser.
