Description:

Dieses Set umspannt mehrere Labels und Stile und zeigt Mel TormÃ© in einer Ã?bergangsphase, in der er mit einem FuÃ? in seiner aufblÃ¼henden Jazz-Karriere steht und mit dem anderen immer noch nach Hits sucht. Nicht viele konnten sich damit abfinden, in einem Moment "Lulu's back In Town" aufzunehmen (was wahrscheinlich die definitive Version von "Lulu's back In Town" ist) und im nÃ¤chsten Moment Scherzlieder wie "What's New At The Zoo?", auÃ?er dem Velvet Fog selbst. Mit Aufnahmen, die in London, Los Angeles und New York gemacht wurden, begleitet von einigen der grÃ¶Ã?ten Arrangiertalente dieser Ã?ra, darunter Ted Heath, Billy May, Russell Garcia und Marty Paich. Sie enthÃ¤lt alle seine UK- und US-Single-VerÃ¶ffentlichungen, die zwischen 1956 und 1962 erschienen sind, in ihren Original-Single-Versionen (und wenn mÃ¶glich in Stereo). Viele davon sind selten oder neu auf CD, besonders das schwer zu findende "Wayfaring Stranger", das seit seiner kurzen Single-VerÃ¶ffentlichung auf der RÃ¼ckseite von "Walk Like A Dragon" im Jahr 1960 nicht mehr gehÃ¶rt wurde. - 1956-1962

These 28 tracks present two sides of the Velvet Fog: the esteemed jazz singer and the ideal vessel for the perfect song. You'll hear Tormé's special way with a novelty number, too, and his outings with Marty Paich, Ted Heath, Billy May and more: his hit "Comin' Home Baby" plus "Hooray for Love," "Walkin' Shoes," "Yes Indeed!," "Blue Moon," "Moon Song," "Right Now," "Time Was," "Lulu's Back in Town," "Frenesi," "Her Face" and more, many new to CD!
