Synopsis

Album Description
The two albums compiled on this CD provide the only existing testimony of singer/drummer Mel Tormé accompanied by the great Art Pepper. The combination is sublime, for Pepper?s sound seems to fit particularly well behind Tormé?s voice. The other important collaboration on these sessions is the one between Tormé and celebrated arranger Marty Paich. However, these are by no means their only works together as they collaborated many times. The two albums contained on this CD present two different concepts. The first one gives us extraordinary Paich arrangements of Broadway standards, some of them well-known melodies that became Jazz standards, while others have passed into relative obscurity. The second LP is a reunion of the famous Tormé vocal group, The Mel-Tones, which made its first recordings in 1944. 24 tracks. Lonehill. 2007.
