Стаття Тома Райлі про Рея Коніфа

В 1970 на лэйбле Harmony вышел замечательный сборник Рэя Конниффа The Impossible Dream. Несколько лет назад мы выкладывали его в группе. Этот сборник примечателен ещё и тем, что на задней странице обложки была представлена самая полная, на тот момент, биография Рэя, написанная музыкальным обозревателем Томом Райли в 1967 году.
