You'll Hear It: Full Album Deep Dives with Jazz Musicians4 Maj

Genius + Soul = Jazz – Ray Charles

YHI + McBride = Ray Charles?! Christian McBride - bassist, Grammy winner and one of the greatest musical minds working today - joins Adam and Peter on You'll Hear It to share his desert island album.

If you know Christian, you know that his musical hero is James Brown. But Christian isn't bringing a James Brown pick. Instead, he's bringing one from his hero's hero ... Ray Charles.

This album was a risky move for Charles - unlike anything else he'd released at that time. At the peak of his power, he set aside the qualities that made him famous: his voice and his piano.

This one's a deep cut. But once you listen, you'll never hear Ray Charles the same way again.
