I remember watching night court and how they use to mock Mel Torme

thought he was terrific. And, I just found these great videos on
YouTube. Nice Christmas pieces.
The Judy Garland Christmas Special is a gem. So I went to Amazon and
ordered the full DVD. Mel once did a "scat" routine with Ella
Fitzgerald that was amazing but I cannot find it anywhere. I think
it was an awards show in the 80's.
If Mel Torme's "scatting" doesn't make you smile you are NOT human.....;}
