From the moment the needle drops on the record, Charles' soulful voice effortlessly glides over Basie's swinging jazz arrangements like a swan on a lake. The opening track, "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," sets the tone for the rest of the album, delivering a smooth and soulful rendition that will have you tapping your feet from start to finish. As the album progresses, Charles showcases his impeccable vocal range on classics such as "How Long Has This Been Going On" and "Every Saturday Night," proving that he is still at the top of his game after all these years. The Count Basie Orchestra provides the perfect backdrop for Charles' vocals, with their tight and polished arrangements ensuring that every note is on point. But it's not just the music that shines on this album. The production quality is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal track shining through in crystal clarity. It's a testament to the talent and dedication of everyone involved in bringing this project to life. Overall, "Ray Sings Basie Swings" is a must-listen for any fan of soul, jazz, or just good music in general.
