Mel Torme and George Shearing – A Vintage Year (1988) [Reissue 2003] MCH SACD ISO + Hi-Res FLAC

Singer Mel Tormé and pianist George Shearing make a perfect team, bringing out the best in each other. With the assistance of bassist John Leitham and drummer Donny Osborne, the swinging, witty duo performs a variety of standards, including Noël Coward’s “Someday I’ll Find You”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, and “Anyone Can Whistle”, and a couple of medleys highlighted by a humorous six-song “New York, New York Medley”. All of the Tormé/Shearing collaborations are quite enjoyable and highly recommended as some of their best work of the 1980s.

Velvet-toned vocalist Mel Tormé and elegantly swinging pianist George Shearing were, quite simply, an unrivaled pairing of talents. And 1987—the year in which this timeless, Grammy®-Award nominated recording was made—was indeed A Vintage Year for this dynamic duo, finding both gentlemen at the peak of their creative and artistic powers. Consummate entertainers, Mel Torme and George Shearing possessed a collective wit and sense of humor that perfectly matched their peerless musical virtuosity and artistry. Their humorous, now-famous “New York, New York Medley” is a classic example of their signature melding of talents—one of many highlights in this masterful Torme/Shearing outing. Now on Hybrid SACD, you’re invited to pull up a front row seat at the Paul Masson Winery, and witness first-hand the undeniable fact that, like a fine bottle of wine, this vintage recording only gets better with age.
