Sitting here listening to this disc for about the 219th time. I keep coming back to it, and while I like Jazz (although surely this is 'Easy Listening?') I am mostly a classical fan. But everything about this recording is fantastic. I could have started a new thread but I still consider myself new to Torme, so this is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy his art! (Not to mention Shearing...) Wonderful.
