I Remember Brother Ray

King, Herbie Mann, Jane Monheit, and Ray Charles. He played with Ray Charles from 1954 - 64. Just two months after Ray Charles' passing, Newman entered the Rudy Van Gelder studio to record 'I Remember Brother Ray', a heartfelt homage to the jazzier side of his old boss and friend. Among numerous Ray Charles tributes, 'I Remember Brother Ray' stands out for its grace, authenticity, and true connection to Charles' musical legacy.
