I was a musician for many years. Your tonal quality and execution of your knowledge of the trumpet are surpassed only by your emotion that you insert into the music. Perfection is when there is nothing left to add and nothing left to take away. This, in my opinion is perfection. My compliments Charles
From the Age of Romance ! Ray Anthony's recording of the Eric Coates' melody is less well known than that of Harry James, but is just as evocative. Nobody knew it in 1957, but ballroom dancing was coming to an end. Rock'n'roll was coming, romance was on the way out, and so too the big bands.
Esas melodías las bailábamos de cachetito con el novio 🤵♂️ cuando íbamos aquellas famosas Tardeadas los Domingos, que bellos tiempos aquellos 😭que no volveran !!
I listen to a lot of Ray Anthony's lp's on TH-cam... wonderful. He is a National Treasure. Make sure to check out the video of Ray Anthony hosting Marilyn Monroe at his house.. those were the days!!!!!!
Ray Anthony sounds very similar to Harry James here; a delightful version of a British song (Eric Coates), still being used as the signature tune for BBC Radio's "Desert Island discs".
Only two people can play this song so beautifully. Eddie Calvert RIP and our Ray Anthony .
You forgot Harry James.
As of today Ray is still with us at 99 and is the last survivor of the original Glenn Miller band of 1940
We won't EVER forget Harry James. But both these guys played beautiful horns with exemptional tone!
( sing along ) The memory of this moment of love
Will haunt me forever
A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon, and you.
I loved it, Thank you.
Happy 100th birthday Ray!!!!
Playing trumpet is the answer
To a long life

I love this song...
An era gone by! It's a shame!!

I’d actually challenge that people knew it was on its way out but what nobody knew was how permanently.
What a outstanding performance!!!! Love it!!

This was during the period Ray and his band were on for Plymouth, on ABC's Friday night schedule [10pm(et)].

He's better than Harry was, if that's possible!!
Too bad there is distortion in the recording, because this is fabulously well done!
Survived well past the Big Band era by the astute use of television.
super
I love my wife of 30 years.
私が最初にスリーピーラグーンを聞いた時が、50年代後半でレイアンソニーのトランペットでだったことを思い出しました。その時はなんと美しい曲だろうと感激しました❗
Ray could play a mean trumpet and was original.....
Close to Harry but no Cigar
cornet is much better than trumpet to this tune.
