Soul Meeting is a 1961 Atlantic Records album of recordings made by Ray Charles and Milt Jackson in 1957. The album was later re-issued together with the earlier Soul Brothers (1958), on a 2 CD compilation together with other 'bonus' tracks from the same Charles and Jackson recording sessions.

Reception

On release the album was given a rating of 3.5 out of 5 in the February 1963 issue of Down Beat magazine.[1] In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Cub Koda described the music as "bluesy jazz in a laid-back manner".[2]
