The album "The Uncollected Carl Ravazza And His Orchestra 1941-1944" is a delightful collection of swing and big band tunes that will transport listeners back to a bygone era. Carl Ravazza and his orchestra were a popular group during the 1940s, and this album features some of their best recordings that were previously unreleased or hard to find.
The album starts with the upbeat and jazzy "Tuxedo Junction" and continues with classics such as "In the Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade." The orchestra's arrangements are tight and polished, with well-crafted solos from various members of the band. The sound quality is surprisingly good, considering the age of the recordings, and it's easy to imagine oneself dancing in a ballroom to these tunes.
One of the highlights of the album is the vocal performance of Anita Boyer, who sings on several tracks, including "I Don't Want to Walk Without You" and "I'll Be Seeing You." Her sweet and sultry voice adds a romantic touch to the album, and her duet with Jack Lathrop on "I'm Making Believe" is particularly charming.
