THE INTERVIEW “MY SOUND” - AND “SO MUCH IN LOVE” For the first time, a downloadable album contains an interview with Ray Conniff. Ray talks about his recording of Don Cherry’s “Band of Gold” and how he created his sound for wordless chorus and orchestra. The downloadable-only album also contains the above “Band of Gold” and Ray’s first recordings with his orchestra and chorus, “Begin the Beguine” and “Stardust” - as well as “Stardust” performed by Artie Shaw and his Orchestra (note: To my knowledge, Ray Conniff never arranged “Stardust” for Artie Shaw, nor was he in the band when Artie Shaw recorded it), and Harry ames’ recording of “September Song” that Ray arranged and later recorded with his own orchestra for the “’s Wonderful!”-album. The remaining six tracks are from “So Much in Love” - a wonderful album by The Ray Conniff Singers. But how appropriate is this choice when Ray talks about the creation of his sound with a wordless chorus? One of his early instrumental albums would have been more fitting to my mind. Anyway, the album features songs Ray mentioned in the interview which was taped in London on Sept. 26, 1973. (13:41) Released on March 30, 2015 (Item added March 24, 2015)

THE INTERVIEW “MY SOUND” - AND “SO MUCH IN LOVE” For the first time, a downloadable album contains an interview with Ray Conniff. Ray talks about his recording of Don Cherry’s “Band of Gold” and how he created his sound for wordless chorus and orchestra. The downloadable-only album also contains the above “Band of Gold” and Ray’s first recordings with his orchestra and chorus, “Begin the Beguine” and “Stardust” - as well as “Stardust” performed by Artie Shaw and his Orchestra (note: To my knowledge, Ray Conniff never arranged “Stardust” for Artie Shaw, nor was he in the band when Artie Shaw recorded it), and Harry James’ recording of “September Song” that Ray arranged and later recorded with his own orchestra for the “’s Wonderful!”-album. The remaining six tracks are from “So Much in Love” - a wonderful album by The Ray Conniff Singers. But how appropriate is this choice when Ray talks about the creation of his sound with a wordless chorus? One of his early instrumental albums would have been more fitting to my mind. Anyway, the album features songs Ray mentioned in the interview which was taped in London on Sept. 26, 1973. (13:41) Released on March 30, 2015 (Item added March 24, 2015)
