Mel Torme story

[Larry Kart]

My favourite quote about Mel was when Jake Hanna was told that Mel had written a biography of Buddy Rich: "Really? Does he mention Buddy?"

[Hot Ptah]

After reading Mel's autobiography, "It Wasn't ALL Velvet", I can believe anything about his writing. A small photo of that book's jacket should be placed in the dictionary next to the word "whine."

The Velvet Whine?

"the velvet ego" is more to the point, i think.
