5.0 out of 5 stars
Velvet fog in Japan,
By HM "HM" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Recorded Live at the Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festival in Japan '90 (Audio CD)
Nobody does it better. This may have the best rendition of Stardust not only by Mel, but by anyone, ever. You will also be astonished by his A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
5.0 out of 5 stars

MEL TORME LIVE AND VERY MUCH ALIVE,AT 65.WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE!I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS ALBUM DID NOT MAKE BILLBOARD'S CHARTS.
AS I MENTIONED THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED LIVE AT THE CONCORD JAZZ FESTVAL IN 1990.MEL'S VOICE IS IN FINE FORM AS IS THE HOWARD WESS ORCHESTRA. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE "STARDUST"(HOW DOES HE HOLD THOSE HIGH NOTES FOR SO LOMG?)AND "A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELY SQUARE".MEL SCATS WHENEVER THE SPIRIT HITS HIM.HIS PHRASING,BREATH CONTROL AND INTONATION ARE SUPERB AS ALWAYS.THIS MAN WAS A NATIONAL TREASURE.SINCE MEL IS NO LONGER PERFORMING LIVE(HE DIED IN 1999)THIS ALBUM IS THE NEXT BEST THING. FIVE HUGE STARS! WILLIAM NEWTON |
