It is true that not every single song is a "classic", but you have Sinatra's voice nd unique style, combined with the Basie band, which makes for a powerful, swingin' collection.
Free Music Review: Are there more than 5 stars?
Hit: 5 Stars
I LOVE this album. I wasn't a big Sinatra fan, but I can understand his appeal. His voice had (at one time) perfect pitch. I bought this for Fly Me to the Moon, but I absolutely love "Hello Dolly, "Wives and Lovers", "More", I Wish you Love", and I Believe in You." The arrangements are stunning and timeless. Beautiful sound, perfect for background.Free Music Review: "Count Sinatra"
Hit: 5 Stars
Love this CD--they don't make music iike this today. What a great voice, arrangements and orchestra to go with great songs!!Free Music Review: Not The Best Basie Collaboration
Hit: 3 Stars
I disagree with the reviewer who likes this over the first Sinatra - Basie album. There is no comparison. The Neal Hefti arrangements brought out the talent of Basie and his musicians. Quincy Jones was always a third rate arranger in my opinion. This has a few good songs on it but over all not nearly as good s the first one.Free Music Review: Delicious Sinatra+Basie with arrangements by Quincy Jones
Hit: 5 Stars
This album has generated some classics for Sinatra like 'Fly Me To The Moon'. Also Cy Coleman's 'The Best is Yet To Come' is a killer.
There is that cool casual reading Sinatra used to adopt under a big band like Count Basie's. Pure swing, pure fire, all the tracks.
Quincy Jones' arrangements pair with Neal Hefti's from other Sinatra-Basie collaboration.
Repertoire is unequal but the overall result is delicious.
