The title of this set is slightly misleading: it isn't--as much as music fans may wish it--a collaboration between Ray Charles and Count Basie. Instead, the contents of this 2006 release contain recordings Ray Charles made in 1973, which were discovered in 2005, then overdubbed with backing by the Count Basie Orchestra (though sans the Count himself, who died in the early '80s). The results are highly enjoyable however, with Charles revisiting early '60s hits like "Busted," "Cryin' Time," and "Georgia on My Mind," among others, and the swinging big-band arrangements fit beautifully.
