While the mellow jazz/pop vocalist known to the world as the Velvet Fog was a star in the 1940s and '50s, and experienced brief resurgences over the next couple of decades, few could predict that he would hit his artistic stride in the final phase of his career. That's what happened during Mel Torme's tenure at Concord in the '80s and '90s. He made the most of the artistic freedom the label gave him, and in his collaborations with piano legend George Shearing as well as esteemed Canadian swing ensemble Rob McConnell & the Boss Brass, he reached new levels of musical expression. While he didn't break new ground in terms of material during those years, one listen to "Born To Be Blue" or "Stardust" makes it immediately obvious that Torme was delving into deeper emotional waters than ever before. THE BEST OF THE CONCORD YEARS shows that the storied singer went out on a high note.
