Mel Torme

One of the finest - and hippest - vocal jazz albums ever finds Torme throwing a West Coast Cool jazz twist into Broadway stalwarts such as "Too Close For Comfort" and "Too Darn Hot." Torme's greatest collaborator, Marty Paich, provides stellar charts, while the soloists (who include Art Pepper, Bill Perkins and Mel Lewis) prove they're up to the challenge. A true joy.
