"Mel Torme is was one of the best voices in music. He was blessed not only with a beautiful instrument, but he knew how to use it in ways no other has been able to understand or achieve. Many of the albums I've heard we're arranged with great production including strings, horns, and backup singers. This collection shows his ability to be one of the best jazz singers out there. The small ensemble allows him the freedom to bend the rules and create great improvisations along with his trademark scats. Great musicians along with a great voice make this Concord Collection a must have."
A story in itself

"All the Torme Shearing sides in one classic package. Not overdone just a reflection on the great combination of George and Mel. Ballads, Hip Songs, Humour, some classical overtones and marvelous piano and voice jazz. It certainly swings but also makes you laugh and cry. It's almost worth the price for the 7th CD - a collection of alternate or unissued takes. An album in itself."
