I never tire of "Comin' Home Baby". You may. That's not really my concern. I know why I like it so much. Because I'm reminded that I would never have gone near Mel Torme had Rev Tom Frost, the host of Spread the Good Word, not posted his version. I trusted the taste of host Frost, so I clicked, trepidatiously. That is a fancy word. Within seconds I realized that I had been wrong about Torme all along. With every new-to-me version of "Comin' Home Baby" I hear, I have a Pavlovian reaction that causes me to slap my forehead.
This version is killer. Not a thing out of place. It's by Peter Nero, whose band includes Klaus Voormann on bass, the only name I recognize. But it swings.

Initially I thought nothing much about Mel Tormé until I heard his version of "Mountain Greenery" from his album "Live at the Red Hill". Since then I've been a fan.
