Digital Booklet
Born in Chicago in 1925 to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, Melvin Howard Torme toured with comedian-turned-bandleader Chico Marx. His creamy baritone led him to an early solo career as a romantic crooner – but he yearned to be a jazz artist. He was nudged back on the jazz track in 1955 by a record exec and became one of the style’s most respected performers. The multi-talented Torme played piano and drums, arranged most of his own music, appeared in more than 20 movies and was nominated for an Emmy in 1956 for a supporting role in “The Comedian.” Torme was able to move easily between the jazz and pop worlds. He penned more than 300 songs – including “The Christmas Song.” In this historic recording made December 1958 especially for the World Broadcasting Systems at the famous Radio Recorders studios in Hollywood, California Mel sings every song with great feeling and beauty of vocal tone. The selection of tunes is impeccable and he never sounded better.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
