  • My favorite Mel Torme song, without a doubt.

    Why does the drummer look like Will Ferrell with a big mustache and his hair combed back???

  • @MrAquarius LMAO....great eye

  • Completely effortless and imaginative. Mel Torme at his best.

  • I heard the instrumental version of this a few years. I can't remember who the saxophonist was but I loved it. Then a few years later, I heard Mel Torme sing it (I didn't know it was him at the time), I was floored. I ended up falling in love with Mel all over again. I wish I had listened to him more when he was still alive.

  • The incomparable Mel Torme

  • The Velvet Fog!

  • this is how it's done baby ... effortless Mel Torme delivery.

  • Comment removed

  • Also see "Gloomy Sunday " by Mel Torme

  • that was awesome.

  • Michael Buble - eat your heart out !!

  • @graham2375 At first, I thought there was a song called ”eat your heart our” sung by Michael Buble.

  • if i didnt watch night court i would never have found mel torme.i had slayer records lyin next to this mans albums when i was a kid.a true legend

  • yea! love to place this, its a staple!

  • smooth cat!

  • Like the way they Mack the Knifed it, man he can jazz but keeps it clean enough to not scare the poppers... The end made me laugh !

  • nice shi..............t !!!

  • love this!

  • Cool !!!!!

  • i think the velvet fog is actually pronouncing 'erudite' strictly correctly, and it is probably the best english word to convey his meaning; that is, in his opinion the arrangement is more masterly and conscientiously studied than others of its contemporary ilk.

    I think any Sinatra offhand remark of this nature would be less clearly defined and a little 'looser' but thats just reflecting the different personalities of these two masters of their craft. vive la difference!

  • It is no more or less "ariadite?" lyrically. Wha, huh? I could not find "ariadite" "iriodite" or words of simillar spelling or phonetic pronounciations. Is he trying to entertain a jazz or more sophisticated classical audience here? Look pal, most of us out here are not musicians ok Mel? Why cant you talk more "gangsta" like Sinatra? LOL!

  • Great job...he was one of the act that my hubby played with.

  • Hey this is great, haven't seen this in a while so thanks for the u/l.

    Do you have the other performances from this set? Quiet nights (Corcovado) and Route 66 would be great to see again :)

  • Really cool.....

  • Herbie Man..

  • Great, just great. =D

    Realy a funky sound.

  • Not according to the book I read! Buddy Rich said," OK we won't have any fun any more". Fats Waller was kidnapped for a Mob party and got well paid as a result.

  • Hi Kinop233,

    They were sharing the same bill at a club and BR played this practical joke on him.

  • Hello Major,

    This may be the stupidest question you get today, but did Mel enjoy this? eventually, I mean? I mean, I could sort of see not talking to Buddy Rich for a long time after this....but not being a guy in the 50s, I don't know...

    thanks for any enlightment!

  • Buddy Rich had him "kidnapped" from a club they were playing driven round town and then thrown on stage to sing thinking he was still in the hands of his captors as he was blindfolded!

  • I dont understand! explain more please...

  • Hi, do you know who the Bass player is? Thx for any info :)

  • No, i don't no.
