Free Music Review: A collabration of two titans...
Hit: 5 Stars
It's an enigma for the ages how these two giants of entertainment, only managed to cross paths once for a 35 plus minute recording session during the 20th Century. What we get is a pure desert island disc. Oddly, Billy May arranges and conducts while the Duke tickles the ivory. May still manages to evoke that swaggering, cool, Ellington Big Band sound. Sinatra adapts himself perfectly to complement the Ellington sound. This meager production, remastered in 1999 of only eight well chosen songs shines in every way. For the most part the arrangements are slow, cool, and collective, featuring vivid detail in brass and highlighted soloists. Though this album is short by today's CD standards, all but the last selection are over four minutes. This allowing for more orchestra interjections than most typical Sinatra recordings. Afterall many of Ellington's Band members had been with him since 1950. They relish this occassion to share the stage with Frank, to show their stuff for this 1968 release. Only the last track "Come Back to Me" departs from the overall theme, exhibiting a little more Basie tendency. It is rare to get standards of musicianship in popular music like this. The session banter told of in the liner notes by Stan Cornyn adds to the intimacy.
