Tormée also did a guest shot on the Barry Manilow (stop laughing
) album
2:00 AM, Paradise Café. That actually was an excellent album, as it was all the cream of the crop of West Coast jazz musicians: Shelly Manne, Bill Mays, Gerry Mulligan, Mundell Lowe, George Duvivier, and a guest vocal appearance by Sarah Vaughan. He wrote all of the music, with a variety of lyricists. Notable is the tune "When October Goes," which was an unused Johnny Mercer lyric that Mercer's widow gave Manilow permission to set to music. If, I recall, the album was recorded in one take, after a few days of rehearsals.
