Mel Torm : Swings Schubert Alley [Verve Vault Series]

The Velvet Fog meets The Great White Way! Mel Torm was at the height of his powers on 1960’s ‘Swings Shubert Alley’, a collection of Broadway standards backed by the renowned Marty Paich Orchestra. This stunning union of musical theatre and jazz is regarded as one of the jewels of Torm’s work for Verve Records, and his unforgettable vocal delivery elevates familiar chestnuts from the songbooks of Lerner and Loewe (‘On the Street Where You Live’), Rodgers and Hammerstein (‘Hello, Young Lovers’, ‘The Surrey with the Fringe on Top’) and Cole Porter (‘Too Darn Hot’). The Verve Vault series is all-analog, cut from the original master tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
