Mel & George "Do" World War II

Mel & George "Do" World War II

0 - Default Title
Description
Personnel: Mel Torme (vocals), George Shearing (piano), Neil Swainson (bass), Donny Osborne (drums).All of the Mel Torm‚-George Shearing collaborations are well worth acquiring, for the singer and the pianist constantly inspire each other. For this live concert, Torm‚ and Shearing perform a variety of songs popular during World War II. Shearing and bassist Neil Swainson duet on "Lilt Marlene" and "I've Heard That Song Before"; Shearing takes "I Know Why and So Do You" unaccompanied, and the duo is joined by drummer Donny Osborne and Torm‚ for a wide-ranging and consistently enjoyable set. Although "This Is the Army Mister Jones" is a bit dated, a four-song Duke Ellington medley, "I Could Write a Book" and a touching "We Mustn't Say Goodbye" are memorable. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
