I enjoyed it and they gave Fathead pretty big play there (chuckles). David "Fathead" Newman will always be linked with Ray Charles. He played saxophone for MM: You're right.

In the past five years, with HighNote, I've had a chance to choose my material and musicians and it's made for a wonderful career there. And I've been able to come up with Newman first met and worked with Ray in 1951 some pretty nice releases there. (See Newman's recollection of some of his releases from when they were both members of a band led by the past ten years on page 15. the great Texas blues man Lowell Fulson ...

How do you write a David Newman: Oh yeah. He was being featured with the Lowell Fulson band, so song? Where does the idea come from? he was writing some and playing and singing too. He really hadn't found his own self identity yet. He was still sounding like Charles Brown and Nat "King" Cole. Those were ON: What happens for me is that I start out with an idea for a melody. I have to jot his favorites and he sounded just like them. By '54 he'd begun the Ray Charles band and down the ideas, or even record something, or the ideas will get away from me. Then I established his own self identity. keep adding and keep adding and come up with an idea of what I want it to be. The title comes last. MM: Tell me about playing the chitlin' circuit with Fulson and Charles. What was that like?

ON: What stands out most is when Ray Charles introduced me to the people at Atlantic Records in about '58. I did my first recording as a leader, which was released in '59. That's when I recorded that signature tune Hard Times. Then in 1960 Ray formed his big band and that was another memorable experience because I'd never played with a big band. 3RD ANNUAL JAZZ MM: Have you seen the movie Ray yet?

"We chose material Ray recorded and some of his original material. We did tunes like Hit the Road Jack and Georgia. It wasn't easy with a quintet because Ray did so many vocal tunes. It's not as easy as it seems to take a vocal tune and do it instrumentally. You still have to get the original intent and sound from it, but you're doing an instrumental version. You don't have the vocalist singing the melody. It turned out to be a good record."
