Mel Tormé - Cocktails...With A Velvet Fog! '2020

Tracks list

Mel Tormé was a jazz-oriented pop singer who worked at his craft steadily
from the 40s to the 90s, primarily in nightclubs and concert halls. In his 1988
autobiography, It Wasnt All Velvet (its title a reference to his nickname, The
Velvet Fog, bestowed upon him by a disc jockey in the 40s to describe his husky,
wide-ranging voice), he mentioned a wish that he had been born ten years
earlier, that is, in 1915 rather than 1925. If he had had his wish, Tormé
would have been an exact contemporary of Frank Sinatra, and like Sinatra, he
might have had a full-fledged career as a big-band singer. In fact, given the
breadth of his talents, he might have been a bandleader, since in addition to
singing, he was also a drummer good enough to have gotten offers to go on the
road as early as his teens, a songwriter responsible for one of the perennial
Christmas standards, and an arranger who wrote the charts for much of the music
he performed. Amazingly, this is still only a partial list of his
accomplishments, which also included acting in more than a dozen feature films
and on radio and television; hosting radio and TV shows; and writing television
dramas, numerous articles for periodicals including Down Beat and The New York
Times, and six published books of fiction, biography, and music criticism.
