{"title":"Mel Tormé Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eMel Tormé was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and composer who was known as “The Velvet Fog” due to his smooth, rich voice. He was born in 1925 in Chicago, Illinois, and began his career as a child performer on radio, in films, and in vaudeville. He was a prolific composer and wrote hundreds of songs, including the classic holiday tune “The Christmas Song” (also known as “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire”). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTormé released a series of critically acclaimed albums throughout his career, including the 1965 LP Mel Tormé and The Marty Paich Dek-Tette, which featured the Grammy-nominated song “Careless Hands.” His other standout albums include 1962's I Dig the Duke\/I Dig the Count, 1967's Mel Tormé Swings Shubert Alley, and his final studio album, 1995's Singing with the Big Bands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Mel Tormé is that he was an accomplished drummer as well as a singer, and he often played drums on his own recordings. He was also a noted jazz scat singer, a skill which he showcased on his 1972 single “The Lady Is a Tramp.”\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mel-torme-swings-shubert-alley-verve-vault-series-381711","title":"Mel Tormé, Marty Paich Orchestra – Swings Shubert Alley (Verve Vault Series)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMel Torme9's \u003cem\u003eSwings Shubert Alley\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e catches him in 1960, turning Broadway material into a proper jazz-swing set at a point when his Verve work was in especially strong form. Rather than treating these songs as theatre keepsakes, Torme9 brings quick wit, sharp phrasing and real momentum to music associated with New York's Shubert Alley stage culture, backed here by the Marty Paich Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's appeal is in that meeting of polish and drive. Standards by Lerner and Loewe, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Cole Porter become vehicles for Torme9's rhythmic precision and easy authority, with songs such as \u003cem\u003eOn the Street Where You Live\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHello, Young Lovers\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eToo Darn Hot\u003c\/em\u003e showing how naturally he could move between show-tune elegance and jazz phrasing.
