Mel Torme's 1957 Studio Album is a masterfully curated collection of great dance hits and jazz standards. Tormé first wrote the suite as a twenty-minute piece in 1949, arranged by Neal Hefti and Billy May, with Peggy Lee providing vocals. It was expanded to this LP length version in 1957. The suite was later recorded by Sammy Davis, Jr.
