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. Sources also place this among the most admired studio albums of his Verve period, and it still stands out for how confidently it bridges Broadway and big-band sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Verve Vault edition makes that history count on vinyl: it is cut from the original analog tapes by Ryan K.
