On this innovative album, Ray sings mostly his own compositions.

In the '70s he featured in a highly original trio called Audacle, playing original soft electric music to a following of devoted fans at the Wits university campus in Johannesburg. In the late 70s Ray rediscovered his Jewish roots, became a devotee of Chassidic Judaism, married his artist wife Miriam. They have raised a family of 6 children. In the 80s and 90s Ray had the opportunity to back the famous Reb Shlomo Carlebach many times on his visits to South Africa, both at informal gatherings and as musical director for his stage performances. Reb Shlomo's style of music was a strong inspiration for Ray, for whom music has always been the language of the soul. In 2002 Ray formed the band Neshima with Chanan Rosin and Ray's son, Shmueli Perkel and they recorded the widely acclaimed album, "Hakol Letovah". This world music album is a highly innovative fusion of Hbrew/Chassidic music with African and Latin rhythms and has delighted fans in several countries around the world. The band toured Israel in mid-2002, playing to enthusiastic concert and club audiences. In 2005 Ray produced "New Journey", his first solo album, featured here. Ray currently continues to explore original fusions of Jewish music with music of the African continent where he lives. FROM THE ALBUM INSERT:The endeavour of a musician is to create a space in real time-a space into which all who choose to open their ears and hearts, may enter and participate. The ancient Hebrew Prophet Tzephaniah, said of the coming time of ultimate world peace: 'then I will evolve for the nations a clear language that all may call the Name of the Eternal One, and serve Him with common purpose'. I humbly propose that this 'clear language' of which the Prophet speaks is the language of music, of melody and song. Music is indeed the universal language. I pray for the day when we will all sing and dance together in praise of the Eternal King in the Temple of Jerusalem. I offer this collection of songs as a partial itinerary of my personal journey. I offer it in deep gratitude to the Creator of Creativity, and for the opportunity to work with the beautiful people who have shared their love, their generosity, their talent and their passion in the making of this album-and especially for the connection with you, the listener, who, by choosing to participate in our journey through these spaces, make it all worthwhile.With love & blessings,Ray Ray Perkel with Friends New Journey Songs | 1. | Yehi Shalom |

| | Soul Ballet Lavish CD (2007)
New Journey album
$12.59 
If producer/ composer Rick Kelly had decided to release Lavish under his own name instead of under the name Soul Ballet, it certainly would have been justified. Kelly is Soul Ballet, pure and simple. Soul Ballet has never been a group but rather, is Kelly's project and has always reflected his smooth jazz-meets-electronica vision -- and Lavish, like previous Soul Ballet discs, ends up being more electronica than smooth jazz, which is probably for the best because Kelly has avoided recording the type of outright schlock that is so common in the radio-driven smooth jazz/NAC field. True, Soul Ballet has enjoyed airplay on smooth jazz/NAC stations, but Lavish -- although not terribly ...
