0018111538121. New condition. CD. Smooth as Velvet captures two sessions Mel Tormé cut during the early stages of his career. The first was with a small group headed by Dave Barbour during 1946 and 1947 and the second took place in 1957 with the Marty Paich Dekette (plus strings) for the Tops label. Each session is very good Tormé and each has its special listening delight. When he hooked up with Dave Barbour (who appears on five of these cuts) Tormé had been recording for four years and he demonstrates his sympathy for and control over the ballad form. Barbour s understated calm guitar sets off Tormé s voice to perfection creating a cozy intimate setting for such classic tunes as A Cottage for Sale Don t Take Your Love from Me and Gone with the Wind. There is also a very good pianist on these cuts who regrettably is not identified; it might be either Buddy Cole or Arnold Ross both of whom were playing for Barbour during this period. The second date was one of the many mutually rewarding sessions Tormé was to have with Marty Paich over their long careers. On some cuts Paich added strings which don t lend much to the proceedings. But they are more than offset by the presence of one of the more lyrical trumpet players of the time Don Fagerquist who as he has done for such singers as Ella Fitzgerald Jeri Southern and June Christy plays delicate intriguing figures to accentuate the musical thoughts expressed by Tormé. Listen to his trumpet on One Morning in May Ghost of a Chance
