Music reviews of Sinatra & Swingin Brass
Music Review: fine album that proves why he was The Chairman...
Rating: 5 Stars
Sinatra and Swingin' Brass may have a few critics out there but I for one enjoyed this album immensely. Franks sings very well on this CD and just one listen proves it amply! The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork reflects very good judgment and forethought. This is a must-have CD for Frank Sinatra fans.
"Goody, Goody" features a strong performance from The Chairman Of The Board; he handles this like the champ he always was and that impresses me. Frank's rendition plays with the melody somewhat to make this piece his own; there are a few good key and tempo changes to make this number sound fresh and new as well. Great! "They Can't Take That Away From Me" has Frank singing so well; he singing joyously of the thrills of true love and this makes Frank's rendition THE definitive rendition of this classic ballad. Frank's voice never sounded better, either! There's also "At Long Last Love;" "At Long Last Love" has a swell brass section and the percussion marks the beat in the background as Frank belts this one straight out of the ballpark!
"I'm Beginning To See The Light" was always one of my favorite classic pop songs; and I absolutely love Frank's interpretation of this ballad. The orchestral accompaniment fits in perfectly with Frank's vocals and he delivers this way beyond my expectations--even for him! "I'm Beginning To See The Light" is clearly a major highlight of this CD.
"I Get A Kick Out Of You" showcases Frank front and center--and that's great in my book! Frank sings this as he swings brightly to make this number his own. The tempo changes enhance the beauty of this tune and that brass section again complements Frank's singing very well. "I Get A Kick Out Of You" is another major highlight of this album. "Tangerine" is another one of my favorite tunes; Frank gives this his all and he delivers this with heart and soul--beautiful! "Tangerine" is one of those numbers that make people worship Frank for his excellent vocal talents. There's no wonder as to why!
"Ain't She Sweet?" has Frank doing a fine cover of this very old song; but he delivers it with panache and all the elegance of a finely tuned singer and recording artist. "Ain't She Sweet?" is a cute number; and "I Love You" gets a royal treatment from Frank who makes this sound like "the song of songs;" I'm sure you'll like this one very much. The album also ends very strong with Sinatra singing "Pick Yourself Up;" "Pick Yourself Up" is a splendid classic number that Frank makes timeless with his treatment of it and the brass section along with the rest of the band work wonders for this ballad.
Frank Sinatra sang so beautifully I don't know if we'll ever see another male singer quite like him ever again. This album is terrific for his fans and it makes a sine starter CD for newcomers to Frank's artistry. I also recommend this CD for people who enjoy classic pop vocals.
Thank you, Frank! We will never forget you!
Description of Sinatra & Swingin Brass
Japanese only SHM paper sleeve pressing. The SHM-CD [Super High Material CD] format features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC and Universal Music Japan discovered through the joint companies' research into LCD display manufacturing, SHM-CDs feature improved transparency on the data side of the disc, allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head. SHM-CD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players.This 1962 album was arranged and conducted by Neil Hefti, and the biff-bang-pow nature of the music will come as no surprise to those who recall that Hefti also scored the Batman TV series. In truth, the record is far more rambunctious than it needs to be. An arrogant-sounding Sinatra teams up with a relentless horn section to bulldoze their way through the likes of "I Get a Kick Out of You," "They Can't Take That Away From Me," and "Tangerine;" it's fun, but only in a clenched-teeth sort of way. As a bonus track, the CD includes the gruesome novelty "Everybody's Twistin'," which is really more of a sociological artifact than an actual "bonus." --Dan Epstein
