 Easy Listening Orchestra Nov 09, 2008
I like Ray Coniff's Orchestra, I don't know why maybe its his selection of songs with very nice arrangements. He doesn't stand out as maybe Mantovani with the luscious strings and the use of accordian or a Stanley Black. Ray Coniff though has a unique style that is also enjoyable.
 "RAYs of sunshine in our lives" Aug 21, 2008
This is the real original RAY, the one that invented a new way of "using" an Orchestra: "Wordless Voices perfectly blended with Instruments in a unique wonderful sound".
I don't agree with Stephan, the arrangements are not at all repetitive, what is repetitive is the wonderful sound they generate. Consider they go back half a century and they still make us vibrate in unison today...immagine those days!
The Quality of the Recording and Remastering are simply outstanding, the best ever heard in a R.C. CD. By the way this CD is manufactured by COLUMBIA! I have not heard the SONY non-nice price, Sep 1991 version but are sure it can't be more than an infinitesimal better.
12 Wonderful songs all clean, bright, wide front, true STEREO arranged and played like only RAY can do. Would like to see more of these warm marvellous sun RAY's...there are many other beautiful RAY redentions (wordless of course!) that deserve this superb treatment.
One last minor thing; the price is simply astonishing.
If you can't live without warm sun RAYs you absolutely need this CD.
Ciao,
Franco
LATINISISISISIMO!!!!!!! May 06, 2007
Ray Conniff demostrando que puede ser un fantastico arreglista de melodias latinas tan clasicas como BESAME MUCHO y TENTACION (que grandes interpretaciones al estilo Conniff); incluyendo canciones tan lindas como STRANGER IN PARADISE, la movidisima I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN, grandes baladas como SOFTLY AS IN A MORNING SUNRISE, NIGHT AND DAY, la preciosas y melancolicas DEEP PURPLE y SUMMERTIME, y alegres piezas como TOO YOUNG y SAY IT WITH MUSIC; un gran disco infaltable en cualquier coleccion de todo amante de la musica!!
Conniff Magic Aug 14, 2006
This is a trip down memory lane with the very smooth Conniff magic at its best. Quality is excellent.

i wore out the vinyl edition Aug 11, 2005
there are some conniff recordings that fans come back to again and again. this 1960 effort is one of those that i've revisited many, many times over its 45 years.
"say it with music" was somewhat of a departure for ray in that he introduced his latin-flamenco guitar device with resounding success. these renditions prove conniff's mettle as a skillful and innovative arranger. the sound is big band, the production values are impeccable, and the rhythms are infectious. one of conniff's superior productions.
sidemen for this album include billy butterfield (his treatment of "summertime" is incredibly beautiful) and doc severinsen on trumpet.
to think that ray conniff's first full-fledged recording ('s wonderful) was a mere 3 years earlier than this particular album....what a tremendous evolution in the conniff sound in such a short period.
"say it with music" is consummate conniff!
