Genius + Soul = Jazz placed Ray Charles at the head of the Count Basie Orchestra with cornetist Thad Jones, guitarist Freddie Green, and saxophonists Billy Mitchell and Frank Wess all on board for the date. Charles played Hammond B-3 organ on this mostly–instrumental set, vocalizing only on two blues numbers, “I’ve Got News for You” and “I’m Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town.” Ray’s Latin–soul rendition of “One Mint Julep” (arranged by Quincy Jones) reached Number One R&B/Number Eight Pop – the biggest hit single ever to bear the Impulse! logo. Closing out the incredible 5-night run of Impulse! music, the great blues and jazz pianist/vocalist from New Orleans, Henry Butler, will bring down the house with 2 sets of rousing music celebrating “Brother Ray!”

We bid farewell to 2009 and ring in the New Year with six scintillating nights of celebratory music from “the Big Easy,” New Orleans. Pianist Henry Butler, saxophonist Donald Harrison Jr., and an all–star sextet – its name inspired by the fabled Louis Armstrong recording of 1927 – will bring the excitement of a Crescent City street parade to our stage as they romp and stomp through a boundless book of standard and original tunes. Jazz Standard will be the place to be, every night for the New Year!
