Here's a song that is exemplary of the old adage, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again", and after writing a third set of completely different lyrics to Richard Rodgers' lovely melody, Larry (Lorenz) Hart finally had a hit in 1934, and thus was born "Blue Moon". One of the most romantic recordings of this standard was done by the "Velvet Fog", Mel Torme.. + Informações

Mel Tormé was an American musician and singer best known for his classic jazz vocals. He was also a jazz composer and arranger, a drummer, an actor in radio, film, and television, and the author of five books. He co-wrote the classic holiday song "The Christmas Song" ("Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire") with Bob Wells. In 1944 he formed the vocal quintet "Mel Tormé and His Mel-Tones", modeled on Frank Sinatra and The Pied Pipers. His appearance in the 1947 film musical "Good News" made him a teen idol for several years. His 1949 composition "California Suite" became Capitol Records' first 12-inch LP album. His recording of "Careless Hands" was his only #1 hit, although "Again" and "Blue Moon" became his signature tunes. His singing at New York's Copacabana led a local disc jockey to give him the nickname "The Velvet Fog". His last hit was the 1962 R&B song "Comin' Home, Baby" which reached #36 on the pop chart. In February 1999, Tormé was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. This selection is the title song from his album "That's All" released in 1965.. + Informações

A smashing, hard-swinging big band cover of Stephen Sondheim's tortured love lament from 'A Little Night Music,' this killer Christopher Gunning arrangement was the first track on the B-side of 1977's Mel's 'Tormé: A New Album' (usually released now as 'The London Sessions') and features a playfully elastic solo by Phil Woods on alto sax. Mel hadn't released a studio album since 1969, and recorded this one in London during a bitter divorce, which surely added some fuel to his blithely sardonic reading of this and his heartwrenching take on the opening track, Stevie Wonder's "All in Love is Fair." He also tackles other pop tunes of the day like "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "New York State of Mind"--it's one of his finest albums.. + Informações
