Ray was accompanied by a large symphony orchestra, his own rhythm section (Brad Rabuchin - guitar; Tom Fowler - bass; Peter Turre - drums) plus lead trumpet Roger Ingram, Steve Sigmund (tb) and Dante Luciani (tb); and Victor Vanacore (musical director). Sigmund was responsible for providing Ray with the PC88 because his own keyboard did not arrive from LA.
Brazilian CD (s.a.). |
Produced, recorded and aired by WPBT Channel 2. The first air date (by PBS/WNET/Ch. 13) I found was 8 August 1999 (cf. this review). With some nice documentary footage of arrival, stage preparations, repetitions, etc.
DVD: Image Entertainment B000059H8R, 2001 (1999).
The track of It Had To Be You was also released on Diane's album Friends For Schuur (Concord, 2000).
In Brazil the concert was released as a CD by USA Records (300.045); tracks #1 and #18 were left out.

For the (soundtrack) album, see http://raycharlesvideomuseum.blogspot.nl/2011/02/good-life-1991.html - it's hard to get, even second hand (but always check Ebay).
ReplyDeleteThe video/DVD concerts are frequently for sale on Ebay.
