CD Reviews

The voice as an instrument

Alejandra Vernon | Long Beach, California | 12/07/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Some of what Torme does with his voice on these songs is stupendous...technically dazzling, and with his unique, velvet sound.
This compilation has a very mixed bag of recording sessions, starting with "Comin' Home Baby", which was his only Top 40 hit, and has a catchy tune and toe tapping rhythm."Route 66" (live performance) is a big band number with a lot of virtuoso singing, and "Mountain Greenery" (also live) is terrific...and then comes "Cast Your Fate to the Winds", with its dreadful "yeh yeh yeh" back-up singing. Anyone remember Alvin the Chipmunk ? Well, it sounds like Alvin and his buddies got together for this session...what were they thinking ?"Sunday in New York", "Broadway" (another big band track), "New York, New York" (from Bernstein's "On the Town"), "It's Delovely" (live with a trio back-up...the sound is a little off in the last few bars), are all good, and "Lullaby of Birdland" is one of my favorites, with some great scat singing.The final track, "Putting on the Ritz", is a song I love. It's really suited for his voice, and he sings it beautifully.
All in all, the nice price on this compilation makes me forget, or at least forgive ! Alvin on track # 4, and give it a 5 star rating."

BEWARE!
