GOTTA TELLYA!
Just got the live stuff from Newport Jazz Festival '68.
First half of the CD is Ray's band w/ instrumentals like no other big band.
Night Time is the Right Time
Tell the Truth
What'd I Say
and most of all that incredibly wonderful
s-l-o-w take on Drown In My Own Tears.
When I first heard that record in 7th grade it knocked me clean down to the ground. Still does.
Lordy, how Brother Ray could howl.
The Rez

It was a Beautiful Rainbow
A Beautiful Time in my Life
A Thing to Share
A Time to Care
To Be Alive
