Mel Tormé Sings Sunday in New York and Other Songs About New York

Review

After taking a host of potshots at the Big Apple on his 1949 Left Coast opus California Suite, {Mel Tormé} repents via Sunday in New York and Other Songs About New York, a buoyant, genuinely affectionate Gotham tribute that effortlessly captures the city's sophistication and energy. While entries like "Lullaby of Broadway" and "Forty Second Street" pay homage to the theatrical tradition, {Tormé} largely favors songs that document the everyday poetry of New York life, evoking with jazzy aplomb the rhythms of a people and place in perpetual motion. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
