The American Roots Music Program 

at Berklee College of Music Presents 

INSPIRED BY RAY 

THE RAY CHARLES SYMPOSIUM AND CONCERT 

September 21–23, 2012

Welcome to Inspired by Ray, a symposium produced by the 

American Roots Music Program at Berklee College of Music. All 

the great streams of American music flow through Ray Charles: 

blues, gospel, jazz, and country. It is this multistyle aspect of 

Charles’s work that has inspired the Roots Program to mount 

this symposium. 

Throughout the weekend esteemed panelists and presenters will 

discuss a wide range of topics that any serious consideration of Ray Charles 

requires. The symposium will address the relationship between Charles and topics 

as diverse as the music business, the black experience in America, jazz, gospel and 

country music, and the blind community. The symposium will conclude on Sunday, 

September 23, which would have been Ray Charles’s 82nd birthday. 

At InspiRaytion, the capstone concert of the symposium, you will hear new and 

innovative treatments of some familiar Ray Charles classics, as well as performances 

of some great but relatively obscure works from his catalog. 

The music of Ray Charles is truly an extraordinary thing. Its joy and spirit are 

accessible to everyone, yet it also holds up under the lifelong scrutiny of trained 

musicians who continue to find in it new riches. It’s hard to find two people who 

agree on any issue, but when it comes to American music, everybody loves Ray Charles. 

Yours truly, 

Matt Glaser, Artistic Director, American Roots Music Program 

Joe Walsh, Managing Director, American Roots Music Program

On behalf of the Ray Charles Marketing Group and our client, 

the Ray Charles Foundation, I would like to thank all of you for 

attending Inspired by Ray. 

There were very few things that remained consistent throughout 

Ray Charles’s musical career. From the blind sensation who took 

rhythm and blues by storm in the early 1950s, to the bandleader 

and singer who wowed the Newport Jazz Festival in the late 

1950s, to his journeys into the great American songbook and country and western 

in the 1960s, Charles’s career was truly a work in progress. 

However, one of the constants throughout his incredible recording career was his 

connection to Berklee College of Music and its prestigious alumni. These alumni 

range from his teenage friend, Quincy Jones ‘51, the arranger of his first Grammy 

award–winning recording in 1959, to his music director of 15 years, Victor 

Vanacore ’74, the arranger of his last Grammy award–winning recording in 2004. 

In addition, several other Berklee graduates performed and toured with the Ray 

Charles Orchestra. 

The long-standing history of Ray Charles and this fine institution makes this 

weekend even more special for all of us and I can assure you that the staff here at 

Berklee has put together an incredible program and concert for your enjoyment. 

Sincerely, 

Tony Gumina 

President, Ray Charles Marketing Group

Performers 

Ricky Skaggs 

Bluegrass great Ricky Skaggs, who collaborated with Ray Charles 

on the title track of Charles’s Friendship album, has won 14 

Grammy Awards as a singer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and 

composer. Versed in both traditional and progressive bluegrass 

and country, he’s performed with dozens of other groundbreaking 

musicians and bands, including Flatt & Scruggs, Country 

Gentlemen, Boone Creek, Rodney Crowell, Johnny Cash, Dolly 

Parton, and Emmylou Harris. In the 1980s, Skaggs had a string of No. 1 hits and 

successful albums including Sweet Temptation and Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine. A 

bona fide bluegrass icon, Skaggs continues to make music with his band, 

Kentucky Thunder. 

John Scofield ’73 

John Scofield’s guitar work has influenced jazz since the late 

1970s and is going strong today. With his distinctive sound and 

stylistic diversity, Scofield is a masterful jazz improviser whose 

music generally falls somewhere between post-bop, funk-edged 

jazz, and R&B. Born in Ohio and raised in suburban Connecticut, 

Scofield took up the guitar at age 11, inspired by both rock and 

blues players, and attended Berklee. After a debut recording with 

Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker, Scofield was a member of the Billy Cobham- 

George Duke band for two years. In 1977 he recorded with Charles Mingus and 

joined the Gary Burton quartet. He began his international career as a bandleader 

and recording artist in 1978. From 1982 to 1985, Scofield toured and recorded 

with Miles Davis. His Davis stint placed him firmly in the foreground of jazz 

consciousness as a player and composer. 

Raul Midón 

Blind singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón is a unique 

musician. His singular soul/pop/jazz sound garnered him a 

standing ovation during his television debut on the Late Show 

with David Letterman and an open invitation back to the Tonight 

Show with Jay Leno following his appearances there. This 

talented, mesmerizing, genre-defying artist has traveled the globe 

from India to Indiana spreading the message that you can do it: 

you can be yourself and be recognized and be bold. With three major label records 

under his belt—State of Mind, A World Within a World, and Synthesis—and 

countless appearances both on worldwide television and on other artists’ records, 

he is a pro and more a part of the musical landscape than you might realize. Not 

only have the music lovers of the world recognized Midón’s gifts, but so have 

some of the greatest musicians in recent history.
