The Jazz Legacy Project: Ray Charles, Jazz + Soul = Genius

The Jazz Legacy Project: Ray Charles, Jazz + Soul = Genius

One of the most important figures in American Music, Charles connected jazz, blues, pop, gospel, and country music in a way that no one had before or has since. Featuring vocalist Cleveland Jones.

Each program is roughly 90 minutes, with the goal of bringing the casual jazz listener inside the minds and music of the most influential and interesting American musicians of all time. The life and music of the artist/composer is entertainingly narrated by the drummer, Mr. Justin Varnes, and seminal jazz pieces are played to illuminate the narration. These are NOT tribute concerts in the sense that the musicians are trying to recreate the original performances, but instead to celebrate the essence and accomplishments of the particular artist.
