The previously-reported reissue of Ray Charles' Genius + Soul = Jazz has finally been given a track list by its distributor, Concord Records. Not much in the way of previously unreleased content (one vault cut), but this two-disc set will pull four Ray LPs back into print.
The package, due April 6, will feature Genius + Soul = Jazz as well as My Kind of Jazz (1970), Jazz Number II (1973) and My Kind of Jazz Part III (1975). (My Kind of Jazz was paired up with Genius + Soul = Jazz for a Rhino reissue in 1997.) It will also feature new liner notes by Wall Street Journal jazz critic Will Friedwald as well as the original liner notes for each record.
The full track list can be found below the jump.
