{"product_id":"its-a-blue-world","title":"IT'S A BLUE WORLD","description":"One of the most beautiful albums ever from the great Mel Torme - and a set that's a bit different than his other work for the Bethlehem label too! The set features Mel singing to lush backings from conductor Al Pellegrini and arrangers Marty Paich, Sandy Courage, Andre� Previn and Russell Garcia - who bring in a mode that definitely lives up to the blue tones promised in the title - with enough melancholy moments in the mix to rival the sound of Frank Sinatra's classic Wee Small Hours album. The voice of the \"Velvet Fog\" is perfect in such a setting - and Torme�'s all serious, all classic, all the way through. Recorded and released around the time he turned 30, It's a Blue World (1955) marked a turning point in Mel Torme's recording career. Titles include \"How Long Has This Been Going On,\" \"It's A Blue World,\" \"Polka Dots \u0026amp; Moonbeams,\" \"I Got It Bad \u0026amp; That Ain't Good,\" \"All This \u0026amp; Heaven Too,\" \"Wonderful One\" and \"Stay As Sweet As You Are.\"","brand":"DEL RAY","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":52377957728536,"sku":"8436563181450","price":36.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3730022.jpg?v=1783455138","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/its-a-blue-world","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
