Volume 247: A Conniff Concert
Ray Conniff Improvisations
My father must have really loved the music of Ray Conniff. This is the sixth of eight albums from this arranger and orchestra leader in my dad’s collection. This one has a bit of a twist to it. No. Not the dance.
While the title of the album makes it seem like it will be a live album, that is not the nature of the concert here. Several of the songs you hear will be improvisations or interpretations of some pretty popular melodies from throughout time.
So, get ready to hear those lush strings paired with those lyric-less vocals in Volume 247: A Conniff Concert.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
