No one can deny that Mel Torme and George Shearing have, in their solo status brought the sound of jazz to millions of people over the years.  But this concert album proves that when put together, George Shearing and Mel Torme are greater than their individual parts.  This recording contains standards such as "The Midnight Sun" which is given a Latin twist.  You'll also find rare tunes like Noel Coward's "Someday I'll Find You" which George turns into a funky waltz.  There are generous bows to Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and Mel's tender "Little Man You've Had A Busy Day" gives us another side of the man.  There is humor amid the nostalgia in the medley "New York, New York" -- makes me wish I were at this concert.  My favorites were "Folks Who Live On the Hill" (lots of singers have done this chestnut, but not the way Torme gives it to us--as a family love song to keep in our hearts).  The opening song "Whisper Not/Love Me or Leave Me" has by now become a standard for others but it is Mel's rendition that is BEST.  There is real emotion and something akin to healing born out of this album.  This album was produced at the Paul Masson Winery in Saratoga, California on a Sunday afternoon, an ideal outdoor setting for their music.  Torme and Shearing banter back and forth with the audience and make the listening of this CD and alliance and passion for a day and moment gone by.  Torme and Shearing bring with them the relaxed humor that is infectuous.  I recommend this CD with a 5 star rating.  And because George Shearing and Mel Torme belong together in a California concert afternoon.
