Frank sinatra in Jazz Instrumental Music

Description:

"A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra" (09/14/2004) Jazz Instrument Peterson, Oscar, Verve (USA)Oscar Peterson Trio: Oscar Peterson (piano); Ray Brown (bass instrument); Ed Thigpen (drums). Recording information: 05/18/1959. Master pianist Oscar Peterson works the ivories in typically impressive fashion on this 1959 tribute to Frank Sinatra. Performing with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen, Peterson runs through 12 instrumental versions of songs made popular by Ol' Blue Eyes, including, naturally, faithful renditions of Sinatra signatures "Witchcraft" and "I Get a Kick Out of You." Though the trio takes a swinging, intensely jazzy approach to these tunes, there is no excessive stretching out here--each cut clocks in at less than four minutes. Likewise, Peterson, Brown, and Thigpen color strictly inside the lines here, keeping things highly melodic, laid-back, and elegant. This is music more appropriate to a candlelit dinner than to a smoky club. But the appeal of A JAZZ PORTRAIT OF FRANK SINATRA is in this very distinction; Peterson and company quite obviously set this date to make an intimate, romantic, and beautifully listenable record.

"All Time Greatest Hits Vol. 3" (10/01/1989) Jazz Instrument Dorsey, Tommy, Bluebird RCA (USA)Personnel includes: Frank Sinatra, Connie Haines, The Pied Pipers (vocals); Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra. Recorded between 1940 & 1942. In 1939, Frank Sinatra scored his very first success, "All Or Nothing At All," with trumpeter Harry James' Orchestra. The following year the young singer began an extraordinary two year apprenticeship with the much classier Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, a regimen which taught him everything he needed to know about musical taste and judgement if not popular adulation. Make no mistake, however; from the beginning, through sheer dint of will, Sinatra managed to make his time with the master trombonist and bandleader a collaboration of musical equals. Milestone recordings like "Stardust," "I'll Be Seeing You," "I'll Never Smile Again," "Everything Happens To Me" et al are both big band classics and the beginning of a new age of romantic popular singing. No male singer had ever gone as far as Sinatra did in exploring the tender feelings expressed in these songs, in identifying so completely with a given song's meaning. It was a revolution in popular sensibility that we are still living through several decades later.

"Frankly Basie: Count Basie Plays the Hits of Frank Sinatra" (11/16/1993) Jazz Instrument Basie, Count, Verve (USA)This release contains an eight-page booklet with original release liner notes by Stanely Dance and reissue liner notes by James Isaacs and Frank Foster. Personnel: Count Basie (piano); Billy Byers (arranger); Bobby Plater (alto saxophone); Charlie Fowlkes (baritone saxophone); Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Frank Foster (tenor saxophone); Al Aarons, Sonny Cohn, Wallace Davenport, Sam Noto (trumpets); Henderson Chambers, Al Grey, Bill Hughes, Grover Mitchell (trombones); Eric Dixon (flute, tenor saxophone); Marshall Royal (clarinet, alto saxophone); Freddie Green (guitar); Buddy Catlett, Wyatt Ruther (bass); Sonny Payne, Irving Cottler, J.C. Heard (drums). Recorded in New York on April 8-11, 1963 and Los Angeles, California on January 13-14, 1965. Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, after their initial collaboration in 1962, brought about a revival both in swing and in big band music that would earn them a place in the annals of pop culture. FRANKLY BASIE is an all-instrumental album featuring the Basie band in superb form. "I'll Never Smile Again" and "Only the Lonely" sound particularly inspired. On the former, trombonist Urbie Green performs an elegant, warm-toned solo that recalls the great Tommy Dorsey without actually mimicking him, while on the latter, alto saxophonist Marshall Royal plays a silken, vibrato-laden solo that gives the music a sultry feel. Other standout tracks include the familiar "I Thought About You" and "All of Me." A fitting tribute to The Chairman Of The Board, FRANKLY BASIE is a hard swinging, toe-tapping gem.
