On one special evening at Jazz at Lincoln Center, two musical icons, Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis, along with the stunning songstress Norah Jones, collectively brought their unique musical perspective to 15 of legendary Ray Charles’ hits such as “Hallelujah I Love Her So,” “Hit the Road Jack” and “Unchain My Heart.” Recorded in High Definition by HDNet, WILLIE NELSON AND WYNTON MARSALIS PLAY THE MUSIC OF RAY CHARLES gives music lovers a front-row seat to the sold-out concert, presented as a special in cinemas event on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 8:00pm at Landmark's Embarcadero Center Cinema in San Francisco, Landmark's Kendall Square Cinema in Boston, Landmark's E Street Cinema in Washington D.C., Landmark's Ritz at the Bourse in Philadelphia, Landmark's Century Centre Cinema in Chicago, and Landmark's Metro Cinemas in Seattle.

Country music legend Willie Nelson and Pulitzer Prize-winning jazz artist and Jazz at Lincoln Center Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis share more in common than their multiple GRAMMY® awards. They also share great respect and admiration for the late musical pioneer Ray Charles. In February 2009, Nelson and Marsalis joined musical forces for a two-night Jazz at Lincoln Center concert event at New York City’s Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Their set list explored the legacy of Charles, cleverly sequencing the songs to tell the story of a love affair from beginning to end and beyond. This fine idea was made finer by the inclusion of fellow multiple GRAMMY® winners Norah Jones, whose style suggests a middle ground between Nelson and Marsalis. The sold out performance was captured on video, and the resulting footage expertly edited for the presentation to be seen on the big screen in High Definition and full surround sound.
