      Jamie Foxx's Oscar-winning turn as Ray Charles could only touch on the musical highlights of the American musical legend's career. But for those further intrigued by Charles' savory musical roots, this seven CD/one DVD anthology of Charles' epochal career at Atlantic Records (who purchased the fledgling star's contract from a small L.A. label for $2500) is the ultimate chronicle. While the singer's recorded output for the label was typically shuffled and jumbled across a series of contemporary albums and compilations, this set offers them up chronologically as originally recorded in NYC, New Orleans and elsewhere, a gambit that allows a clearer insight into the musician's artistic growth and burgeoning confidence as a performer in the bargain. Though focused on the `fervent r&b and soul sides he cut before crossing over into country and pop in the `60s, Charles' Atlantic tenure also includes insightful excursions into small jazz combo work that further underscored the range of his incomparable gifts.

      The final CD in the set is a treasure trove of unreleased (mostly) solo performances that range from a lengthy 1953 rehearsal tape to a handful of hotel room-recorded arrangement demos for his 1959 Genius of Ray Charles collection. The set's DVD is another welcome bonus, containing the legend's complete performance at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival (though he'd just left Atlantic, his repertoire and band for the show are rooted in the era), capped with the modern reminisces of Atlantic founder Ahmet Ertegun. Lavishly packaged in a box that replicates a `50's-era 45-player and featuring a hard-bound liner book that includes reprints of the original albums' liner notes, a comprehensive sessionography and an insightful new essay from noted r&b biographer David Ritz, the collection lives up to its billing at every level: Pure genius, indeed. --Jerry McCulley

      Album Description

      Ray Charles is an American legend beyond compare. A ten-time Grammy-winning superstar who almost single-handedly laid the groundwork for soul music, Charles proved his mastery with countless jazz, country, R&B, and pop masterpieces as well. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the first year they gave the honors ('86), and his extraordinary career spanned seven decades. His remarkable life was celebrated in the 2004 biopic Ray-featuring Jamie Foxx's Oscar-winning performance as the artist-and now Ray Charles' musical genius is spotlighted in this comprehensive box of his seminal Atlantic Records era, 1952-1959. As preeminent music writer David Ritz notes inside, "These are the historic years of his creative explosion, the time when he reinvented himself as a musical revolutionary. These records will live forever."

        Feeling is what Ray Charles is all about--straight from the gut, exposed and vulnerable, real. And because it's the feeling of his music that matters most to him, whether it's found in the words he's singing or the notes he's playing, he has never seen any reason to limit himself to any particular style. He's played blues and gospel, jazz and soul, pop and rock and country, and for a half century now he's scored hits and created masterpieces with just about all of it--very often all of it at once! But no matter how startlingly dynamic his arrangements, the focus is always the feeling in Charles's voice. It's such an expressive, soulful instrument that, regardless of what's swirling around it--strings? gospel choir? pedal-steel guitar? all of the above?--it still demands the center of attention. Charles's version of country music takes the listener to unexpected places, musically and emotionally. Hearing all of his interactions with C&W pulled together like this simply amazes. --David Cantwell

          Though this is not the most recent Ray Charles box set collection, it may be the best. That's because it focuses on Ray's great growth in the 1950s, particularly his days with Atlantic Records. The set opens with Ray still in a Charles Brown, smooth-voice, mellow-piano mode, but in short order, he discovers his own identity. From the good time of "It Should Have Been Me" on disc one, though the orgiastic "What'd I Say, Parts 1 & 2" on disc three, the man they call "The Genius" rocks, rolls, raises the rafters, and sinks way down low with the blues. This box also features an excellent essay by the late music historian, Robert Palmer. --Robert Gordon

            Product Description

            Say the word Motown, and an immediate image forms in your head: maybe Smokey, or Diana, or Stevie, or the Temptations doing their famous steps. Or one of dozens of other classic Motown artists. But before the Motown sound had written itself into Americas musical DNA, before there was even a Motown label, there was an idea in the head of Berry Gordy, Jr. Gordys empire began even before the house at 2648 W. Grand Blvd. became Hitsville U.S.A. The Complete Motown Singles, Part 1:1959-1961 documents Motowns earliest days, from Marv Johnsons Come To Me on Tamla 101 through The Twistin Kings Congo (Part 1) on Motown 1023. This six-CD set offers an amazing insight into the development of the Motown Sound. You can follow along, single by single, as Gordy pursues his dream, often to unexpected places. It features the A-side and B-side of every single released by Motown and its subsidiaries during the labels first three years of existence. Over the course of the sets 155 tracks, you can hear the recorded debuts of the Temptations, the Supremes, Mary Wells, and many others. Youll also hear Motowns first big hits: Barrett Strongs Money (Thats What I Want), The Miracles Shop Around, and The Marvelettes Please Mr. Postman. The luxurious packaging includes 92 pages of rare photos, detailed annotations and liner notes. It also features a reproduction 45-rpm single from its era; in this case, its Barrett Strongs Money b/w Oh I Apologize. Berry Gordy, contributes a brief, personally signed note in the booklets opening page. It introduces an eyewitness account of the early days from singer Mable John, the first female solo act signed to Motown. Also included is a historical overview by author and scholar Craig Werner, and track-by-track annotations, with not just song credits but stories and context of each song, by noted authors and discographers Bill Dahl and Keith Hughes.

            That's right: Ten CDs with everything Billie Holiday recorded on Verve Records between 1945 and her death in 1959--not only the songs, but concert introductions, some of the rehearsals, and between-take studio chatter, too. All of which makes for a definitive portrait of Lady Day in her final years. For a long time these recordings were disparaged because it was said her voice was no longer fine and mellow, "ravaged" by hard living, jail time, booze, and drugs. And there's no question that her later tone is darker, more brittle and unstable than it had been in the '30s--but somehow I find myself listening to this music more often than those Brunswick/Columbia or Decca sides, anyway. Like Frank Sinatra, who so often paid tribute to her influence, Holiday's artistry was never based on virtuosity; it was about interpretation, bringing out the emotions in a song and giving a personal reading. She never stopped doing that, and for all the "strange fruit" you'll find in this collection, it's a gold mine. --Jim Emerson

            5 out of 5 stars Great Music, Bad Layout.......2005-11-25

            My Five Star rating is for the music.

            I am a long time Billie Holiday fan and love all of her music; it's taken many years, but I am confident that I have acquired virtually everything she ever recorded. Although I enjoy every period of her musical development, I am particularly fond of the tracks she recorded for Norman Granz on the Verve label in the 1950's. Naturally, I was thrilled when this box set was announced.

            While I am grateful to have so complete a box set as Verve has issued here, I have severe problems with the way the material is presented. It's nice that they have released virtually everything in the Verve vaults, but in so doing they have included live performances, alternate takes, false starts, and even some rehearsals. That would have been fine with me, if they hadn't decided to place everything in strictly chronological order. We therefore get Lady Day's great studio sessions interspaced with live concert performances, chatter, rehearsals and incomplete takes, and the total effect makes for very poor continuity. It also makes the boxed set, on the whole, very difficult to enjoy.

            A few of the live concert performances have never been released before, and I was thrilled to hear some "new" Billie Holiday. But the audio quality and Billie's performance varies greatly on the live material, and the result is very uneven. And the inclusion of the rehearsal material is questionable, even if you're a die-hard fan like me.

            The 1955 rehearsal with Jimmie Rowles is particularly problematic. This session was released on an LP called Songs and Conversations shortly after Billie's death, and I was frankly surprised to find it included here. It consists of mostly drunken rambling conversation while Billie rehearses with her favorite and most sympathetic pianist. Some of the language is quite raunchy, although most of the discussion is hard to follow anyway, as the audio quality is particularly poor. The alternate studio takes are frequently annoying, especially when they include two or three false starts in a row, and the spoken intros by Norman Granz often included in the master takes are completely unnecessary. It would have worked so much better if they had simply separated the live concert material from the studio sessions and then saved the alternate takes, false starts and rehearsal material for the last couple of discs. It's a pity - I would love to be able to listen to all of Billie's wonderful 1950's studio sessions all the way through, without the distractions of the extra material. Happily, I see that Verve will release a new boxed set of just the studio masters in December 2005. Hopefully they will skip all the chatter (I don't need to hear Mr. Granz announce "All Or Nothing At All, take 5"). A great deal of expense and angst could have been avoided if the track layout for this set had simply been better thought out.

            As for Billie's performances, there is not a bad moment in any of the studio recordings presented here, including the notorious three April 54 tracks that she later dismissed, complaining that the band was drunk. The musicians are all first rate throughout these sessions, and present her with the sympathetic backing she deserved and worked best with.

            5 out of 5 stars The package.......2005-02-10

            In reference to the Dec 7th/2001 review by Michael Mccarthy:

            I to bought this when it was originally released and aside from the collected songs and book - which cannot be faulted - the package was as Michael points out beautifully done - it did in fact win a Grammy (for the packaging and the way it was put together - all hardbound etc)- I had intended to buy this box set for my Daughter - however after having read Michael's review I chose not to pay the high cost given the packaging has been downgraded..Like Michael I cannot understand why they would have done this given the cost remains basically the same. If your looking at purchasing I would read Michael's review and then look for the original...

            1 out of 5 stars Avoid at all costs.......2004-01-30

            This is one of the worst box sets ever released.

            There is talking between virtually every track (on 7 or 8 of the 10 cds)(scores and scores of title and take numbers spoken, and respoken. The producer introducing tracks by title and making endlessly pointless studio remarks. (Of course the same uninteresting remark
            each and every time you play the cd..)
            Sometimes songs even stop after a single line is sung (or before). Then reslate, retitle and restart for
            another 20 seconds.

            Of course the (properly recorded) music itself is wonderful but it's impossible to fall into any kind of musical reverie
            with the incessant interruptions (absolutely none of it worth hearing).
            So if you like Billie Holiday for her *music* this isn't for you

            In fact the box set is so utterly unplayable I rebought the music on individual cds so that I can actually listen to it.
            I'm a big Billie fan, I already had all the music on vinyl before I bought the box set.
            (Yes, even the very poor bootleg stuff that Verve bought to pad out the box set.)

            Finally it's wildly overpriced, around 5/6 of the cd's are only for listening to once (and you might not even manage
            that. Billie Holiday as a slurring rambling drunk is a big downer and
            the record company might have shown her a little respect and kept the tapes in the vault.
            Haven't they made enough off her yet? In the first place they only paid her a fee of $30-$100 per track for a buyout with
            with no royalties ever.

            In reality at least half the box set is actually unreleasable outtakes/rehearsal tapes - boxed up as full price cds.
            The whole thing smacks of record company greed.

            So there are only around 4 cds of real, properly recorded releasable master take music.
            And these can be bought on 2 double cd sets (unfortunately only from Verve) without the talking between tracks.
            Do yourself a favor and get these instead.

            Oh yeah, and as if all this isn't enough bad news, they've jammed different sessions on to the same cd - so you get a handful of
            prime Billie tracks followed by 40 minutes of amateur home recorded rehearsal talking on the same cd.
            So what emerges is that there is only (I think) one single cd which is prime quality all the way through.
            (Except for the stopping, retakes and talking between the takes which it also has..)

            So get any other Billie Holiday box set than this - but get one!

            Verve should be ashamed of themselves for ruining an incredible archive like this.
            And making me feel so ripped off that I had to go to the trouble of writing this.
            Thanks Amazon for the cheap therapy.

            5 out of 5 stars a lot of stuff, but indispensable.......2003-08-30

            There are many rehearsal cuts in this box set, which may not be of interest to all listeners. Plus, there are many live performances recorded with less than ideal equipment.
            That said, this is THE collection for those of us who love Billie's 1950s work. It's all here, and it's all wonderful - those who agree with Miles Davis that Lady Day's chief attribute during this decade was her rhythmic flexibility will be more than satisfied, and those who love her expressiveness will be more than amply rewarded.
            The accompaniments are exemplary, featuring many of the greatest players of that Golden Era.
            Plus, of course, she's singing some of the greatest songs ever written, and her attention to lyrics is beyond comparison.

            She never had Ella's vocal range and flexibility and virtuosity (or her sweetness of sound); she never came close to Sarah's level of musicianship (or her richness of sound). But this set will convince you that Billie was the greatest of the great: to borrow from Virginia Woolf, among major jazz singers, Billie is the hardest to catch at the act of being great.

            This is an important release. Miss it at your soul's peril.

            5 out of 5 stars the best billie holiday..........2002-02-26

            so much has been said about the kind of vocalist she has turned into by the time she signed up with verve - a voice ravaged by ill fated romantic liaisons, drugs and alcohol...not to mention jail time.

            what will ultimately make you favor this collection over her works with columbia, decca (her best - vocally) and commodore is one word - pathos. some of her previous material rerecorded for verve seem to have a more emotional pull - simply listen to "strangefruit" from her "the decca years" and the one found on this set. this collection covers her ENTIRE verve record stint - warts and all - some of them captured live (check out disc 10). never has the words "bonus tracks" been used more liberally, with one disc devoted entirely to her rehearsal sessions giving the listener a rare peek at a billie holiday at work. the book makes for a very interesting read. never has the color black been a more appropriate choice for packaging either. tip: if packaging means a lot to you, you're better off getting the american edition - the cd labels are more faithful copies of the various verve imprints than the ones on the european edition.

                Album Description

                The first ever UK CD release of this smooth early soul man's great Cadence recordings - and the first ever CD, anywhere in the world, to feature everything that Lenny cut for Cadence between 1959 and 1964.

                Fans of the `Big City Soul' stylings of Walter Jackson and Roy Hamilton appreciate the work of Mr Welch, as do all lovers of classic American Pop of the early 1960s.

                Produced by Archie Bleyer, the man behind the original success of the Everly Brothers, Andy Williams, Johnny Tillotson and more. Arrangers include some of the top names of the period - Bert Keyes, Chuck Sagle etc.

                Includes Lenny's 1963 US Top Five hit version of the standard `Since I Fell For You', and its Top 30 hit follow up revival of `Ebb Tide'.

                Also includes the original vocal version of `A Taste Of Honey', as copied by the Beatles on their "Please Please Me" album.

                Exquisitely mastered from original Cadence sources, this wonderful music has never sounded better, nor been presented better, than it is here.
