mel torme george shearing berlin 89 part 4

[pastorjohn57]

Thanks for giving us these videos of this concert. This pairing of Shearing and Torme was indeed special. Mel Torme was a musician's singer. I always thought he sings like a good trombone or tenor sax player would play. Both these men are now gone. I pray the the younger musicians will value their talent. Music seems to have gotten away from lyricism and harmony in the 21st century. Yet these standards live on.

Is there a better version of "The Way You Look Tonight?"

Not for my money.

[kevinherbert]

Shearing's playing is so lyrical...intertwining with Mel's solo......nice work guys....

[kevinherbert]

Mel's always on.....

By the way, I was referring to mel NOT George.

[TheJsimone]

Unfortunately, for all of his talent and fame, personally, he's a rude pr**k! What a shame. I know first hand.

[crazyparrot1]

@TheJsimone I'll be honest, you sound a little like the pr**k here

[BuckshotLaFunke]

At 5:20 they start singing 'Little Willie Leaps', based on the chord structure of 'All God's Children'; the tune is listed as Charlie Parker's, but I surmise it was written by Miles Davis.

Better this time....

[bobsunda]

wow the scat singing.. awesome

[kevinherbert]

What a 4 piece!!!!!....it sounds like a10 piece to me....The bass player is the most junior player, but he doesn't hold back.. Of course that's why he's playing with them...nice one young blond bass player....it's Donny Obsorne on drums....

Mel's laid-back timing is just perfect, only Sinatra was a good - Torme is such a musician's singer. Sensational. Love it. M

[kevinherbert]

Who's the drummer???

[amazmace]

Thank you, Thank you... I felt like I went to a concert tonight--and I actually saw Mel live once. Seeing something new is a treat. Again, my heart-felt gratitude for sharing this.

[donnajazz]

I wished I could express my feelings like you do. I saw him in Holland before and he is the best!
