Kenny Rampton Big Band
"The Ray Charles Songbook”
I don’t know what Sister Sadie has to do with Ray Charles but that’s what it says.
Jazz at the Lincoln Center Orchestra Trumpeter Kenny Rampton presents the music of Ray Charles with guests the Raelettes, Diane Schuur, Bill Sims and Jamison Ross live from the Rose Theater, New York, July 1, 2016·
At age 21, trumpeter Kenny Rampton (now of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra) launched his touring career with a nine-month stint in Ray Charles' band. Earlier this year, Rampton honored his former bandleader by presenting the most authentic Ray Charles experience possible. The band was full of Ray Charles alumni (including backing vocalists The Raelettes), the set lists were faithful recreations of actual Ray Charles sets, and the charts were transcribed from the original tour music.
