Review
Single-disc CD reissue combines two of Charles' more jazz-oriented outings, though Genius + Soul (from 1961) enjoys a much more sterling reputation than the comparatively obscure My Kind of Jazz (1970). Question: if genius plus soul equals jazz, does that mean genius minus soul equals fusion? ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music GuideTracks
