    Ray Charles surely would have admired the inventive and lively jazz-drenched arrangements accompanying many of his standards.

    Thanks largely to the instrumental work, there's a satisfying amount of entertainment value on this release--even if major revelations are not forthcoming.

    Nelson sounds edgy while Ali Jackson's percussion solo probably looks good on TV but bores aurally. [July 2011, p. 107]
