The record
A late-'50s Atlantic date finding Ray Charles in trio-plus-guitar company, Kenny Burrell's clean lines and Percy Heath's supple bass giving the leader room to stretch out on blues-soaked, groove-first playing. A lean, unhurried session that shows the gospel-and-blues foundation underneath Atlantic's jazz catalog.
