Volume 213: Ray’s Marvelous

We once again pull out the most popular orchestra leader in my dad’s collection. This is a follow-up album to a popular record my dad does not have. Both titles reference the Ira and George Gershwin tune S’Wonderful from the 1927 Broadway musical Funny Face.

Of course Conniff arranged all of these standards by using a chorus singing tones and not lyrics, which created his own recognizable style.

So, get ready to hear another in the great line of Space-Age composers performing music you heard on stage and screen in Volume 213: Ray's Marvelous. 

More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
