Synopsis

Album Description

It was a match made in heaven. In the early '80s, velvet-tone jazz vocal master, Mel Torme, teamed up with elegantly swinging jazz pianist, George Shearing, for a recording collaboration that would result in six already-classic Concord Jazz recordings over the course of eight years. Winning Grammy awards for the first two outings (An Evening With George Shearing & Mel Torme and Top Drawer) and garnering nominations for all six releases. This perfect match of musical wits brimmed with virtuosity, humor, refined taste and, of course, swing, on each and every recording. Concord Jazz is proud to present all six of these timeless Mel Torme/George Shearing albums in a special box, replete with a bonus disc featuring 17 previously unreleased tracks! Housed in a hard-back book style format with CD sleeves as pages. 2002.

CD Reviews

This is the one you want

K. Johnson | Morgantown, KY United States | 12/29/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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

Glen Gaskill | Canberra, ACT Australia | 03/04/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."
