Mel was a family friend and was always fabulous to me growing up. Whenever he appeared in NY we would go to see him perform. Between sets he came over to our table, sat down and relaxed with us. I miss him.
This man was a musical giant and American treasure.
The epitome of class....singer,actor,composer! The late great Melvin Howard Torme.
more to come next week!!!
Crazily special phrasing like no other.
So lucky to have seen Mel Tormé and Leslie Uggams at Rockford Park, Wilmington, Delaware in the late 1980's for a 4th of July concert!
Joy, talent, genius...all shared with skillful aplomb, in equal measure!
Certainly : genius , thank you.
I miss Mel. Happy I was able to watch him several times in the 1980s. thank you for the post.
I was a huge Mel fan. This is so great! Thank you so much for posting!
Mel was one of the absurd topppers. He was one of the ever greatest. Glad I learned to know him young, for me: around 74....Muziek Mozaïek van Willem Duys NL.
The Best Swing, Special Skat Vocal!
WHAT A MASTER !
The perfect Mel Torme concert. Now including the encore. Thank you very much!
Bluesette shows what this genius can do best.
By Toots Tielemans ?
When one can sing Bluesette..................that person is the top. Not many good singers can sing bluesette.
Thielemans@@sommelierramon
A bass players mix. Awesome!
A Jaw dropping performance!
💗💗💗💗💗
One of the few male jazz vocalist......
I'm Riding High is written by Cole Porter.
jeff grubb mel gets better with age never oo key ,perfect pitch ,saw him at the festival hall with george and carmen mcrae in comparable such music lives forever
Mountain Greenery is Rodgers and Hart :)
Mountain Greenery has music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart.
@@imonthebox1148 that's exactly what i said
@@GabrielleStravelliMusic , No it isnt what you said.
imonthebox1 I said the song is by Rodgers and Hart. But you’re clearly a know it all who felt the need to assert himself into a conversation where he wasn’t needed.
@@GabrielleStravelliMusic , I was merely making the point that the music was written by Richard Rodgers, and the words by Lorenz Hart.
Never heard such a loud acoustic bass in my life
The only worthy rendition of 'Send in the Clowns'!
@2:55 "Mr. Jay Leonhart on bass. The best". Yep, he is.
Does anyone know anything about this sport coat Mel is wearing here? The insignia? It looks like the same coat he wears on the Monterey Jazz Fest concert. I have always been curious about this coat for years.
I've often thought the same question? Looks like a Club or association. Maybe Fox Brother's in Chicago will know? They did some of his clothing.
My best guess is that is something to do with his being a licensed pilot. He owned a 'plane and it was one of the joys of his life to fly!
Sorry: last : GENIUS and the TOP. Okay ?
The bass player must be the sound engineers brother. Was this a Mel Torme concert or a bass convention?
THIS CONCERT WAS UPLOADED...WHAT A PITY!!!
It's a good thing. Hoarders go to hell for eternity.
As you might have noticed this is the entire concert now including the encore. Thank you Erik Mak for your comment. It is also re-edited. We will publish more edited concerts in the weeks to come. And in some cases two entire concerts if and when they were recorded the same day such as is the case with Rosemary Clooney and (soon!) James Brown!
Have you got Pat Metheny Group ( 80's)
in the concerts list??
Keith emerson like at 17'02''
Love 4 sale + dont mean a thing there
+ It's alright with me.
@@Deweycheatumnhowe I meant it is adding more beauty improvisation :)
I wonder if people watch this and think nice voice but too bad he keeps forgetting the words
If you done it in the style of Take the A Train that might have made a little more sense as a downbeat moody type of song I'm referring to his version of send in the clowns
That version of send in the clown sounded like a Saturday Night Live parody that is supposed to be a deep and depressing song not a happy puppy song about clowns
