Mel Torme was an original. He oozed class and was the perfect example of what a jazz derived vocalist should be. Torme possessed all the necessary elements that add up to the making of that often fragile phenomenon, the jazz singer. Superb diction, impeccable taste in repertoire selection, a highly developed sense of rhythm and above all that gorgeous high baritone voice.

Includes a 44-page illustrated booklet.
