| | Ray Conniff It Must Be Him/Honey CD (2002)
Singles Collection Vol. 2
$10.55 
A good matchup of two similar and consecutive LP releases is offered on this discount-priced two-fer. It Must Be Him and Honey were Ray Conniff's first two albums of 1968, and they were among his more successful, each enjoying a long chart run and earning gold record certification. Conniff had updated his arranging style by this point, adapting himself to the rock revolution by bringing in electric guitars and beefing up the sound of the rhythm section, but he hadn't changed his basic approach. All 22 tracks here are his versions of songs that were in the pop charts between 1964 and 1968, originally recorded by the likes of British Invasion acts like the Beatles and Herman's Hermits as well as a slew of middle-of-the-road pop singers. Some of the songs, notably "Yesterday," "Sounds of Silence," and "Goin' Out of My Head," as well as the trio of songs written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and the two written by Jimmy Webb, have gone on to become standards. Others are more of their time, though they may spark a smile of recognition among '60s nostalgia fans. Conniff's arrangements shadow those of the original recordings, while his singers render the lyrics in a consistently pleasant, superficial style, even when they are negotiating the disquieting sentiments of "Sounds of Silence," for example. The indiscriminate use of male voices on lyrics written from a female point of view sometimes lends an unintended subtext of sexual ambiguity ("It must be him!," sing the ...

| | Ray Conniff Concert In Rhythm, Vol. 2/The Perfect 10 Classic CD (2008)
Singles Collection Vol. 2
$11.29 
Generally ignored by his label, Sony ex-Columbia, in the digital era, the Collectables label has discovered that Conniff has a niche market, and are reissuing everything of his for which they can gain clearances; this disc combines Concert in Rhythm, Vol. 2 (1961) with The Perfect 10 Classics (1980). Conniff was a big fan of classical music and naturally would not avoid taking on the classics as he did nearly any other kind of well-known music. Concert in Rhythm, Vol. 2 was a follow-up to Conniff's hugely successful 1958 album Concert in Rhythm, but it does not represent him at his best, nor even at his most characteristic. Several of the pieces are referred to as "Improvisation on [put name of classical work here]," but these are not improvisations in the usual sense. This designation stems from the fact that these interpretations began with a single-line improvisation on the trombone, using the classical melody as its basis, which Conniff then fills out for his whole ensemble -- as with most things Conniff, it is an imaginative and practical idea.
However, classical music, apart from fast allegros in Mozart symphonies and, say, the Prokofiev Toccata -- is heavily invested ...
