"Steve March Torme's 'Swingin' at the Blue Moon Bar and Grille' does just that, it swings! From the title cut, all the way through to the final 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' Steve's vocals will captivate any listener all the way through this fine piece of work. One favorite is 'Straighten Up And Fly Right', the duet with his dad rates right up there. Something about hearing the elder and the younger Torme' together is sweet, as Steve proves he can skat with the best of them. There's a pleasing mix of both uptempo numbers and ballads on this CD,which are sung with style,and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for some real good music."

He's HOT!

"What a wonderful talent Steve March Torme has! This album is, from the poignant and highly swinging duet with his Dad, Mel,to his own terrific compositions, a fabulous effort. Steve March Torme has EVERYTHING going for him...a fine voice, good looks, and true musical taste, style and substance. Definitely THE artist to watch out for....he's got what it takes to carve out his own special niche in the entertainment industry. Between genetics and environment, show business is in his blood. So is class, quality, artistry and intellect. Get this and the new album NOW and play them....you will love them! You can then say you were in on a great thing from the start!"

SHMOOOOOKIN' Steve is HOT! HOT! HOT!

"Steve is a singer/songwriter that has staked his claim. His original compositions make the mood. He has also shown that he can put new life and give a whole new sound to some of your favorite covers too. The atmosphere of this CD gives a great feeling and is very listenable. Energy is there when it should be and Steve is smooth when he should be. This is not just a fluke. Steve is a proven artist as heard on his CD "The Night I Fell For You". From the blusey Cole Porter song 'Ca C'Est L'Amour' with some incredible soloing from trumpeter Bobby Rodriguez to the wrenching Torme penned 'Melancholy Monday' Steve has established that he is here to stay and the others better watch out! From the high flyin' energy that starts with the title track 'Swingin' At The Blue Moon Bar & Grille' to the swing ballad 'Loser At Love' everything is here."

Swingin at the Blue Moon Bar & Grille Swings It Right

Clinton Desveaux | 03/27/2005

"Swingin at the Blue Moon Bar & Grille is an album which swings it right and showcases the pre-eminent voice in jazz/swing music today.

This is one album where Steve brings in a full big band and they just let it swing; which is what every jazz/big band singer should do on at least one album.

I really enjoy the recording of "Straighten Up and Fly Right" with his dad Mel Tormé on this album, since it literally sounds like it was recorded live in the studio in two takes; the vibe just shakes it baby. Rumour has it that Mel said after the recording, "I can't see ANY reason to do that over again! Let's get some lunch!"..... Classic!

Tormé voice is sweetly seductive, it launches his career as a serious jazz singer the right way. Tormé displays much of the vocal agility of his famous father but he doesn't mimic or imitate.

This guy is hip, go out and buy his album it swings like jazz music should swing! 5 out of 5 stars baby!
