Ray Conniff - The Big Band Years 1939-47

Years before the lush "Conniff Sound" of the '50s and '60s, Ray Conniff was one of the great big-band arrangers of the '30s and '40s. That's the period spotlighted here: 23 tracks of Ray with the orchestras of Bunny Berigan (Little Gate's Special), Artie Shaw ('S Wonderful; These Foolish Things), Harry James (Easy; East Coast Blues) and Glen Gray (Hold the Phone; Savage)!
