Soul Brothers/Soul Meeting Reviews:
Magnificent! Out of print at moment, and a great argument for music downloads!
2009-12-11 - Now, here's an idea: you hear a striking performance, in my case "The Genius After Hours," only to find out it's not available on CD anymore. MP3s now serve as archives like never before.

I'll echo another reviewer to say that this isn't your standard collection of Ray Charles commercial pieces, but all the influences are there. Don't miss this one.

Now for something completely different
2007-07-08 - What I mean by this title is that it isn't your typical commercial Ray Charles - he just plays a couple of instruments along with Milt Jackson - the inclusion of the vibes is wonderful and Ray can play the ivories!! It really is wonderfully different.

The Name of the album says it all
2007-02-27 - This is a wonderful album, i think originally released in France?

Most people have heard of Ray Charles, but have you heard him play sax?

Most jazz fans know of Milt Jackon from the Modern jazz Quartet and his genius vibraphone playing...on this album i am sure he plays guitar on at least one track.

This is not flash jazz with lots of horns and solos and orchestras, it is soul jazz, lots of soul and hence the title of the album.

I originally owned this album on vinyl and still do, the text on the back is in French....when the title was released as a double cd, i bought that....it has since been lent to a friend and never seen again, it is on of those albums you should not lend to anyone.

thankyou Ray and Milt, timeless stuff.

TIMELESS ARTISTRY
2006-12-05 - Ray Charles and Milt Jackson; a pairing of genius that will NEVER be heard on this planet again. I've been looking for the Soul Brothers LP for years with little success. My brother had an original LP from '58 but
unfortunately they're both gone. I'm thrilled to have this 2 CD set and am enjoying it immensely. It sounds just a great now as it did to me as a kid in 1958.

I stumbled on a desert island album
2006-02-02 - In 2000, I was searching for some Ray Charles Jazz recordings. I was familiar and a fan of The Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) already. So, when I saw this double set featuring these two masters. I was immediately intrigued and immediately impressed.
This is hands down one of my favorite Jazz CD's. It is loose and filled with groove and instrumental experimentation.
It is a wonder of a listening experience and one which I have given as a gift many times over.
Seeing that it is presently out of print tells me that a Remaster is in the cards (hopefully) though this already sounds fantastic.
Buy it for the musical soul of it. Period. The rest will be answered when you listen.
