Mel Torme at the Red Hill ORIG OZ LP EX 1962 London HAA8021 MONO Jazz Vocal Mel Torme Mel Torme at the Red Hill

Original OZ LP released in 1962 on the Black & Silver London Label. Cat: HAA8021. This album is in MONO.  

Mel Tormé's first recording for Atlantic is his best, a devastating swing set recorded at the Red Hill in Pennsauken, New Jersey. It's clear from just a few bars that the ever-ebullient scatter/singer is in his element here, swinging live at an intimate jazz club before a knowing audience; he treats onlookers to glorious versions of his live standards "Mountain Greenery" and "It's Delovely," extending the latter by several verses with updated, modern lyrics. Always conscious of featuring his musicians too, Tormé allows room for solos from pianist Jimmy Wisner, and even grabs the piano himself for three songs (including both of the above).

Tracks: Shakin' the blues away/ I'm beginning to see the light/ In other words/ Medley: a) A foggy day b) A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square/ Love for sale/ It's delovely/ Mountain greenery/ Nevertheless/ Early autumn/ Anything goes/ (Ah, the apple trees) when the world was young/ Love is just around the corner.
