A live album in which Mel Tormé, nicknamed "The Velvet Fog," showcases his mature singing voice reminiscent of his heyday.
The sophisticated jazz vocals and big band sound are vividly recorded in the intimate atmosphere of the prestigious Maisonette club.
Al Posino's orchestra supports Tormé's vocals with a tight, swinging performance, and the exquisite interplay between the vocals and the band shines throughout. Tormé's singing is a natural blend of virtuosity and ease, with smooth phrasing, perfect timing, and light scat singing.
