I am 83 now. Oscar have been the salt in my life since I was 15. He is surrounded here by the the most outstanding musicians there are. I lift my hat and are so lucky that I am given the opportunity to be able to listen to this outstanding concert!
ANITA beats this woman to & fro, anytime & any- and everywhere, in all the keys, tempos and styles. CHRIS also ....needless to mention the original Ladies ...Betty, Abbey, Carmen ..
What a great way to start the week with the delightful songs of the incomparable Mel Torme. It also brings some nostalgia, isn't it? Thank you sir for sharing this epic work with us.
amazing the Japanese lapped up jazz even bloody baseball after the Mikado Douglas Macarthur twisted their brains. I now find Torme's scat cringeworthy. Better to hear him rather than see.
Went to hear her in a bar in Toronto, that same year 1990. Nobody was listening to her, she had to ask the bartender to shut off the baseball game on telly. I invited her for a drink at my table at intermission, to tell her that at least someone was listening. She was philosophical about the whole thing. Bless her.
