Review by Elena Martínez Giménez

Mel Torme's album is a masterpiece of jazz and swing music. The album showcases Torme's incredible vocal range and his ability to effortlessly shift between different styles and genres. The album features a mix of classic jazz standards and original compositions, all delivered with Torme's trademark style and charm.

The album opens with the upbeat and swinging "Lullaby of Birdland," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Torme's smooth vocals are backed by a tight band, with each instrument shining through in turn. From there, the album moves through a range of moods and styles, from the sultry "I've Got You Under My Skin" to the playful "Lady Be Good" and the soulful "Comin' Home Baby."

One of the standout tracks on the album is Torme's rendition of "The Christmas Song." Torme's warm, velvety voice is perfectly suited to this holiday classic, and the arrangement is both timeless and fresh. The album closes with the hauntingly beautiful "Born to Be Blue," a fitting end to a truly remarkable album.
