Mel Torme

I have three of Mel's on Concord records.
1. Mel & George Shearing
2. Mel & the Marty Paich orchestra
3. I don't remember right now because I'm not at home

One I do remember is a digital recording. Great stuff, especially the Mel & George. Happy listening.

All of my Torme recordings are on the Concord Label and are duo's with George Shearing. My favorites are Top Drawer, A vintage Year, and An Evening with George Shearing and Mel Torme. The last two were from concerts that I attended at the Masson Vineyards. The first one probably doesn't qualify. It won a Grammy and you know what that means. Another interesting disc is Mel & George "DO" World War II. A nostalgia album for old folks.

I enjoy the live recordings the best. Live at Marty's on Finesse records and Live with George Shearing at Charlies on Concord.

I've got enough to get me started..thanks, as always...warren

A "Vintage Year" SACD. Sitting here listening to this disc for about the 219th time. I keep coming back to it, and while I like Jazz (although surely this is 'Easy Listening?') I am mostly a classical fan. But everything about this recording is fantastic. I could have started a new thread but I still consider myself new to Torme, so this is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy his art! (Not to mention Shearing...) Wonderful.
