Bethlehem Records roster of artists in the 1950’s was truly impressive: Nina Simone, Carmen McRae, Dexter Gordon, Charles Mingus, Art Blakey and Duke Ellington. The label’s legacy is a lengthy discography that freshly and ambitiously captured and preserved an era of truly amazing music, including West Coast Cool Jazz and East Coast Bop. Mel Tormé’s 1957 small-combo live album, At The Crescendo, with arrangements by Marty Paich, solidified the young singer’s standing in the jazz world. Each track has been restored from the original analog sound recording & digitally re-mastered.
