Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
They called him 'the Velvet Fog,' a moniker he never much liked, so here's another name for Mel Tormé: musician nonpareil. It was as vocalist, of course, that the multitalented Tormé really shone, and this 1964 Jazz Casual performance features all of his trademarks: the flawless intonation, the superb scatting, the relentless swing. Accompanied here by a trio featuring pianist Gary Lang, he offers a dazzling six-song set, including numbers both familiar ('Comin' Home Baby,' 'Route 66') and rare (the haunting 'Sidney's Soliloquy'). Those familiar with the Bobby Timmons tune 'Dat Dere,' popularized in its instrumental form by Art Blakey, will delight in Tormé's vocal version. Perhaps only Mel could sing a line like 'Daddy, can I have that big elephant over there' and get away with it. That's the thing about Mel Tormé: his glib showmanship and Vegas proclivities made him almost a lounge singer caricature, but his technique and sheer musicality put him on another level entirely. --Sam Graham
