"Excellent quality recording with good sound and video. This is a complete concert with no interruptions for interviews or background videos. Mel sings an interesting mix of jazz and Broadway. As always, his voice and singing are a marvel."
You'll have a great time, it's like being right there!

"Mel Torme was one of the mid-twentieth century crooners who made jazz his mantra. In this wonderful DVD of a 1989 performance in Philadelphia, Torme exhibits is talents in Broadway show medleys, jazz standards, ballads, and more. You'll love every minute. You'll wish you had been there. We're lucky to have this DVD to savor one of America's true musical talents. Thanks, Mel, we all miss you."

"I am watching the DVD as I write this. I love Mel Tormé. His performance on this DVD gives a good sampling of all his talents. His personality and humor come through. Consumate musician that he was, he directs the orchestra as he performs. I took away one star because the video quality is good, but not great. You know what? I don't care. There are plenty of closeups, angle shots, etc. Any serious fan of Mel Tormé should have this DVD in his/her collection."
