Ray Conniff: 3 songs from "Oklahoma!"

From "Concert in Stereo", Ray Conniff's first TV show, which was broadcast on May 2, 1960. With the help of an additional radio frequency in connection with the other channel on TV, the show could be watched in stereo. This live concert was filmed in Pasadena for KTTV.

One day, an inspired italian mixed a kind of pasta with tomato sauce, and wow !! spaghetti was born.
One day an inspired muscian mixed voices and instruments and wow !! Ray Conniff was born.

Thank You! This music, and likely the same musicians and singers, was done in Tacoma, Washington, USA in the late 1950s when Ray Conniff came to town. It was at the Temple Theater. I have always felt that this concert turned me on to vocal jazz, using one's voice as an instrument. Thank you so much for continuing to bring Conniff to us and for keeping his genius alive.

He seguido a Ray Conniff hasta su muerte. Nunca he compartido las críticas descalificadoras que muchos le hacían. Creo que fue un genio de la MÚSICA POPULAR y eso no carece en absoluto de importancia. Ahora bien, al escuchar estos temas que pertenecen a los inicios de su carrera con su propio estilo (antes había actuado en importantes orquestas de jazz), uno comprueba que su calidad era muy superior a la de su última etapa. Pero no fue culpa de él. Lo que decayó fue la calidad de la música que era la materia prima de su arte: arreglar y adaptar obras a su estilo. La trágica época que comenzó en los 60s ó 70s marcó la decadencia de todas las agrupaciones que se fincaban en la melodía.

Je pense pas qu'il y avaient beaucoup de critiques à son endroit. Mais ceux qui l'aiment pas aiment pas la musique. Malheureusement, votre message est pas toute là fait que je peux pas vraiment mettre un thumbs up.

I do not know about swimming in a Martini glass with a beautiful blonde when I hear this music; however whatever gives you pleasure--go for it.

Thank you so much for this posting Manfred! Could you please post the entire show? I grew up listening to Ray Conniff music thankfully being introduced by my Dad! Great and timeless sound!

[@Alce2008]

Dear Manfred,
Thank you for having posted such lovely songs. A question: Why aren't these shows even with poor tv and sound performance put on DVD for everybody to have them, including the one have on Christmas and the one in Japan? Another question: Do you happen to have the show in Chile where RAy Conniff received a prize?
All the very best and thanking you for everything.
