Title: Mel Torme's Moonlight Cocktail
Review: This is a selection of 12 love songs featuring the moon. Some of them are up-tempo, as suggested by the CD title, but there are also slower tracks that are in a much more romantic vein. Mel's interpretation of `How high the moon' is in the latter category, which is so different to the June Christy version. Tormé classics `Don't let that moon get away', `No moon at all' and `Blue moon' are here of course. His version of `Moonlight in Vermont' is quite lovely, as is `Velvet moon', a number that was new to me. Track timings are given, but there's no indication of composers or lyricists on the CD packaging. The backings by Russell Garcia and the orchestra complement Mel's voice perfectly.That's All_Mel Torme
