Amazonレビュー
Although sure to be criticized for cashing in on the Ray Charles bandwagon, jazzman John Scofields 2005 tribute release is also one of the most varied yet successful albums in the guitarists extensive catalog. Shifting from a big band/multi-vocalist approach for the classic "Whatd I Say" featuring an all-star lineup of Dr. John, Warren Haynes, Aaron Neville, John Mayer and Mavis Staples trading verses (they all also take solo vocals on other tracks), along with longtime Charles saxist David "Fathead" Newman, to the lone guitar rendition of "Georgia on my Mind" that closes the disc, Scofield celebrates both Charles music and his eclectic approach to it. The stripped down instrumental version of "Crying Time" with only funereal organ accompaniment is perfectly offset by the following gospelized reading of "I Cant Stop Loving You," brought home by Mavis Staples explosive vocal. Teen throb John Mayer acquits himself admirably on vocals and guitar, singing and trading licks with Scofield on a rugged "I Dont Need No Doctor," and Dr. John brings New Orleans soul on a greasy "Talkin Bout You"/"I Got a Woman" medley. The horn section gets a workout on powerfully swinging instrumental takes of "Hit the Road Jack" and "Lets Go Get Stoned." Scofields quivering solos show moderation yet convey the musics R&B roots, even when hes turning up the heat on a rousing Medeski, Martin and Wood -styled, acid laced "Sticks and Stones." Producer/drummer Steve Jordan finds the perfect vibe between jazz and R&B, and keeps the guest vocalists from stealing the spotlight. He provides the ideal framework for John Scofields fiery yet restrained playing and a fitting tribute to a jazz/R&B icon. --Hal Horowitz

レビューのフィルタリング中に問題が発生しました。後でもう一度試してください。
まあ楽曲はいいのは当然だが、面白みがないねえ。
レイ・チャールズの曲を演奏しました程度で興奮も感動もなし。
音楽的アイディアも詰まってない気がします。
悪くはないがそれだけです。
しかし単なるトリビュートアルバムではないぞ、あくまでplays the music of RAY CHARLES。
プロデューサーにステーヴジョーダンを迎えて、ボーカル入りの曲も有り。
そのボーカルが、メイビィスステップルズ(ゴズベルコーラスグループ、最近のソロはライクーダーと共演)、ジョンメイヤー(イナタいツインリード有り)、ウオーレンハインズ(現オールマンブラザーズバンド!)だけでなく、ドクタージョン、アーロンネヴィルのニューオリンズ組まで。
と、いうことはグラミーを意識したのか?
ともあれ、ラリーゴールディングスのハモンドも含め南部臭プンプンのアルバムである。
昔、ニューオリンズに近づいたアルバムもあったが、元々粘っこいジョンスコの音は南部音楽に良く合う。
だいたいジャズやる前にブルースからギター始めた人だもんネ。
それでも、大人の音楽CDとしてイイわぁ、カッコ良いわぁ。

All I can say is the sessions that produced this set must have been magic because the results sure are; The group dynamics on "What'd I Say" are phenomonal, listening to Mavis Staples is always a joy but she is transcendent on "I Can't Stop Loving You, john Mayer is a wonderful surprise on his solo vocal trac "I don't Need No Doctor" (none of that whispery, sensitive vocal inflection that drives me nuts), Aaron Neville once again proves he has one the most heart breaking voices in music with his version of "You don't know Me", Warren Hayes shows again that there is no better guitar man no matter the type of music, but the star of this is disc is Scofield himself.
Scofield's guitar is a sensuous and sinuous presence throughout this disc. There is never a note out of place. He treated this project with love and respect and the results show this. This is a disc I will be listening to for years to come.
