Our Take

In a world where auto-tune and lip-syncing reign supreme, Ray Conniff's extensive collection from 1938-62 is a refreshing reminder of the good old days when musicians actually played instruments and sang without the help of technology.

Conniff's unique blend of easy listening and big band jazz is like a warm hug on a rainy day - comforting, familiar, and just what you need to lift your spirits. From the jaunty rhythms of "Just One of Those Things" to the soulful crooning of "Moonlight Serenade," each track on this album is a testament to Conniff's impeccable musical talent and timeless appeal.

The brass sections are tight, the strings are lush, and Conniff's arrangements are as smooth as a freshly pressed suit. Listening to this collection is like taking a trip back in time to a swanky ballroom where men wore suits and women danced in pearls.

So, put on your dancing shoes, pour yourself a cocktail, and let Ray Conniff serenade you with his timeless classics. Trust us, you won't regret it.
