Olé Tormé: Mel Tormé Goes South of the Border with Billy May is an outstanding gem from Mel Tormé with arrangements by the great Billy May and His Orchestra. The sound quality is excellent and the cover artwork couldn't be better. Excellent!
The album starts with Mel Torme singing "At The Crossroads (Malaguena)." Billy May's arrangement makes good use of the brass and I love it! Mel Tormé never misses a beat and his voice is as smooth as silk, too. The entire opening number works very well and makes a strong start for this album.
"Frenesi" showcases Mel's singing talents as the guitar work enhances the opening of this ballad. When the number truly begins this all takes off like a jet! The brass enhances the music that goes with Mel's singing; and Mel sings this very sweetly. Overall, "Frenesi" is a very pretty number. "Adios" also gets the royal treatment from Mel Tormé, Billy May and the musicians. "Adios" features them all at their very best and this amazes me–what a great number! Mel Tormé never sounded better.
"Baia" sounds great when Mel sings this with great sensitivity; and Billy May makes sure the musicians do their very best–and it all works very well. The brass carries the bulk of the musical arrangement while Mel Tormé never sings a superfluous note. I love it! Listen also for "Rosita;" this love ballad is new to me but I really, really like it. Mel sings with all his heart and soul about a woman he loves and cannot stay away from. "Rosita" is easily a major highlight of this album; and I predict that you're going to enjoy this ballad very much.
"South Of The Border" showcases Mel's excellent interpretation for this classic love song; and Billy May's orchestra performs the music so well. The music that accompanies Mel's singing perfectly complements his vocals. I always liked "South Of The Border." "Cuban Love Song" is yet another great number that just can't be beat; the brass is there to support Mel as he croons this to perfection and beyond. This elegant love song is also perfect for slow dancing with your sweetheart late at night all alone in your living room.
"Perfidia" has some mighty great brass; and Mel Tormé delivers this with panache. Mel really throws himself into this song; you can tell just by listening to "Perfidia." Great! The album also ends very well with Mel Tormé and Billy May's orchestra performing "Vaya Con Dios." "Vaya Con Dios" is sung primarily in English despite its Spanish name; and Mel sings this so well–what a terrific ending for this fine album!
Naturally, Mel Tormé fans will want this one for their collections. Billy May's orchestrations couldn't be better–and this CD is also wonderful for those of us who like our music with an awesome Spanish twist. ~ Amazon
