Ray Charles - Live In Russia (1994)
Жанр: Jazz, Soul
Продолжительность: 01:26:34
Год выпуска: 1994 г.
Описание: 13 и 14 июля 1994 года в Москве, в концертном зале «Россия», лишь наполовину заполненном (билеты стоили $40—120), прошли первые гастроли великого американского певца, органиста, саксофониста и композитора. Перед выступлением мэтра свои версии его произведений продемонстрировали российские джазмены.
Through the Jazz On The Screen database I was aware of two concerts by Ray Charles at the Russia Concert Hall in Moscow on 13 and 14 July 1994, sponsored by Alfa-Bank, and of the fact that the second one, directed by Sergei Antipov, was recorded for TV. The Ray Charles concerts were part of the 2nd Annual Moscow Jazz Festival.
Sergei Antipov, sitting at an editing console, introduced the viewers to different sequences of the show. Ray's presence in Moscow was clearly a big event. The footage starts with a reportage from a press conference at Hotel Metropol, where Ray - at his charming best - expresses his clearly genuine gratitude for being invited to Moscow for the first time in his career. Further on in the program, we see a number of street interviews with members of the audience.
The concert footage comes from the show on July 14th. Ray, the band and The Raelettes were in great shape that night. Tonette McKinney's rendition of the Donny Hathaway tune Giving Up (#14) is a marvel (watch below).
