When this album first appeared in 1964 Down Beat wrote: "This is New York in mood and motif, in words and music. And this is Tormé in quite delightful, swinging tribute to the most fascinating, frightening, and unforgettable city."
A big statement, but one that is thoroughly backed in one of the most sophisticated and worldly takes on New York City ever committed to disc.
