Free Music Review: The quintessential Sinatra
Hit: 5 Stars
Aside from the "Fly Me to the Moon" selection being the greatest rendition of this song in the history of music, one cannot call oneself a Sinatra aficionado without this CD album in their collection. Count Basie and Frank at the peak of their powers is a most fantastic musical joy.
It Might as Well Be Swing Poster
This 1964 release was the second collaboration between Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, and features a much higher percentage of swing-oriented arrangements (courtesy of Quincy Jones) than the previous Sinatra-Basie. This time around, the Count Basie Orchestra gives the swinging treatment to such contemporary numbers as "More," "I Can't Stop Loving You," "Wives and Lovers," and "Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)," and Sinatra responds with plenty of exuberance and gusto. It's got a good beat, and you can dance to it; out of all the tracks, only "Hello, Dolly!" fails to stand the test of time (or repeated listenings). --Dan EpsteinBlues Music CDs
