Mel Tormé Velvet & Brass Release Date: 1995 Label: Concord Jazz
|
Mel Tormé is in excellent voice for this matchup with Rob McConnell's Boss Brass "My Sweetie Went Away" and "On the Swing Shift" are two lesser-known songs among the more familiar ones. There are more ballads than swingers here, and a few excellent short solos. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
