My Night to Dream: The Ballads Collection

Editorial Reviews
Jazz Times
This collection cherry-picks the best ballads from Torme's 15 previous Concord releases.... The fact is that Torme knows his way around a song--a quarter of the repertoire here are his arrangements--and he knows how to move an audience. And, that being the evident ambition of this release, one must mark it successful indeed.

5 out of 5 stars Mellow Mel.......2000-06-15

This album is a five-star for anyone looking for Mel at his moodiest. These dreamy, soulful selections go very well with low light, soft wine, and those pondersome moments when we dwell on the beautiful sadness of lost love, the theme of each or the entries on the album. Some of the peices are hard to find, such as After the Waltz Is Over, and others are very familar, like Angel Eyes performed here with Cleo Laine. But whether the pieces are old favorites or ones that will soon become old favorites, they will all evoke that 'round midnight feeling. All ballads, all performed with precision and HEART. I like it.
