It's a Blue World is an album by Mel Tormé that was released by Bethlehem Records.[2]

Reception[]

The Billboard review in 1955 wrote that the material was mostly standards and that Tormé "renders them in a mellow, jazz-wize manner, and sales should be good among the hipsters".[2] AllMusic stated: "Tormé invested the songs with warmth and confidence. Recorded and released around the time he turned 30, It's a Blue World marked a turning point in Mel Tormé's recording career."[1]
