General Information

Steve March Tormé is a singer grounded in the tradition of his very famous father, Mel Tormé. This Collectors Edition disc captures the music, the style and even uses the same arrangements as Mel Tormé used recast with a fresh look by Steve March Tormé. AIX Records assembled the "tentet" on the stage of the Colburn School and put them through their paces. In amazing form, Steve and the band sailed through the tunes and lit up these terrific charts. The disc includes a large dose of Steve performing live in Palm Springs, interviews, photographs and inside look at the life and career of Mel Tormé.

About the Recording Approach

This recording is NOT an attempt to "document" a live recording of a jazz singer and his ensemble but instead an exploration of the creative process of making and recording music on videotape and using high-resolution digital audio recording equipment. AIX Records uses no EQ, dynamics processing or artificial reverberation...everything you hear is as the musicians played it. Both "audience" and "stage" 5.1 mixes and a PCM 96/24 bit stereo mix are included on the disc on the DVD-Video side. However, it is the DVD-Audio 96 kHz/24 bit tracks encoded with Meridian Lossless Packing [MLP] that elevates the listening experience well beyond a traditional CD or even a live event. You can chose to listen from the middle of ensemble and hear the sound of the instruments coming from all directions or place yourself in the "best seat in the house". The dynamic range and fidelity offered by the 96 kHz/24 Bit source recording makes this recording come to life.
