---Bill Champlin
(SONS OF CHAMPLIN/CHICAGO)
"I just listened to Steve March Torme's new CD "Inside/Out". I've heard Steve's jazz stuff over the years and have always been impressed with his grasp of how to pull off that very difficult music. He makes it sound easy.
This CD has the man doing original stuff and applying his jazz chops to his own music and it works really well. The playing on the record, especially Gary Herbig's always great woodwind performances, is top of the line; I've always loved Gary's sound so it was no surprise when I looked and saw his name.
The thing that nailed me most is the creativity of the progressions themselves and how he sings/plays through very new changes effortlessly. The lyrics are very personal and sometimes even humorous.
I could go on but the cutting room floor has enough of my BS on it already. Listen to this album. You'll like it." Bill
---Laurence Juber
(Multi- Grammy Award winning guitarist/composer, Paul McCartney's WINGS)
"With 'inside/out', Steve March Torme displays a golden voice and a lyric sensitivity that combine with the easy flow of a natural story-teller and an ability to navigate a wide range of pop and jazz genres."
---Fee Waybill
(Songwriter/Lead singer of THE TUBES)
This guy is a chip off the old block only hipper. The vocals are great, the arrangements are very cool and almost "Steely Dan 'ish'." I love "Say It Ain't So." Who knew? I knew this guy could pitch but I didn't know he could hit it out of the park. This is a great record!"
---Brad Cole
(Keyboardist/Arranger, PHIL COLLINS, GINO VANNELLI, STEPHEN BISHOP)
Steve has been a good friend for over 25 years. We've worked together on all kinds of music and I've performed with Steve on numerous occasions. Inside/Out is his best work yet. His singing is more assured than ever and he has created a style that suggests and develops rather than imitates. As always, Steve's lyrics are clever and evocative and touch on familiar subjects in quite refreshingly new ways. The playing on this record is, of course, first rate; you'll hear some of LA's finest session musicians. A well-deserved five stars.
---Gary Herbig
(BILLBOARD MAGAZINE TOP-TEN SAXOPHONIST)
"I simply want to say that "inside/out" is a marvelous example of a truly artistic endeavour that I am thrilled to be a part of!"
---Liane Carroll
(BRITISH PIANIST/VOCALIST)
Ronnie Scotts Award and Double BBC Jazz Award Winner
"Steve March Tormé has a voice that already makes the birds sing
and combined with his writing on this great CD takes you to one of those
lovely sunny places you don't want to leave. Like a book you can't put
down, or a smile you don't want to stop lookinG at!! Really Beautiful."
---Peter Egan (Road & Track Magazine Editor At Large and fellow musician)
Really enjoyed your new release, especially Smoke in the Dark, He is Me, a Different Time....well, all of it. Also thought John and Valerie was a strange and interesting song--almost an Outer Limits episode running through your head when you listen to it. The autobiographical themes in the songs also work well with my own sentiments and sense of passing time. Fine lyrics and tunes, nice instrumental work and of course great vocals.
---John Phillips (Car & Driver Magazine, Editor at Large
and fellow musician)
"I'm a former drummer and a fan of big bands, so Steve March Torme
had me hooked with the sonorous Swing Era riffs in So Far, where he demonstrated
beyond doubt his vocal bona fides. But with Inside/Out, he's also established
a crystalline mastery of piano, synthesizer, and acoustic guitar. This
is a tight, taut, trim, and tidy exercise in advanced musicianship, simultaneously
soothing, touching, and wondrously worldly. It's unfair that one body
is inhabited by so many skills."
---Jon Pousette-Dart (singer/songwriter/guitarist)
When you are born with music in your blood it is hard to escape it. I was fortunate to cross paths with Steve early in both of our careers in Denver at a time when the musical landscape was rich with talent in the early 70's. It was a pleasure to connect then, as it is is all these years later and to hear his continued, tried and true connection to the song. When music is rooted in the real domain of roots and honesty, it only gets better as it matures. I hear that loud and clear in Steve's voice and his writing. Hope our paths cross again. Enjoy this heartfelt release."
Steve Tormé has a new album released this year called “Inside/Out”! It is a masterpiece for those looking to relax late at night or those long highway weekend vacations.
Tormé has matured as a song writer, and grown confident in his vocal abilities and seems to have a better understanding of how his music should feel and sound. He stands as his own man, no longer in the shadows of past giants.
The opening salvo on the album is called “A Night at the Zoo”, and is the type of song that parents with young children will understand how quickly life can change from time when you were young to an adult. Track 5 “Of a Child” features his younger up and coming brother James helping out with the backing vocals. And track 8 “Una Nocha En Majorca” is a soothing instrumental song that calms the nerves in these tense times which we live in. My particular favorite song from this magical collection is the final track “A Different Time”.
Production is clean throughout the album, and not over produced. All
12 tracks are solid from beginning to end. Steve Tormé’s music has sort
of a warm, comforting vibe.
The album has great linear notes, and fantastic pictures from his personal
photo collection. Great package for people who like value for money.
Go and buy this album at his website www.SteveMarchTorme.com and other
music websites.
