Free Music Notes for Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim
Free Music Review: Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim
Hit: 5 Stars
What a combination! Smooth Frankie and the romantic latin of Jobim. Meltingly romantic as well as elegant, sophisticated and seductive. Just add champagne, candlelight and a loved one. Free Music Review: Fashionable for the sixties.. dreary for the oughties
Hit: 1 Stars
I bought this record in the sixties when I thought Sinatra could do no wrong. I hadn't heard it for decades until I bought the cd fron Amazon- big mistake! The older I get, the more I realise Sinatra's best recording years by far were at Capitol. Even if the song or arrangement were second rate, you still got the honey dripping warmth in The Voice. This is a prime example of FS in the sixties- floundering about, not certain of his material in the face of rock and roll. These were the years of recording Rod Mckuen, Winchester Cathedral,Watertown etc. ending with the execrable Duets. The man couldn't not record and subsequently we have lots of records with a much diminished voice. The Jobim albums are badly dated- his whispering voice has no distinguishing qualities and the arrangments are horrible(excepting the three non-Jobim tracks). On some tracks,Ogerman has the orchestra just stop playing. No drama, no Riddle-esque style. Apart from Ring a Ding Ding, Sinatra and Strings (far and away his best Reprise album), Concert Sinatra, the first Basie album and Sinatra and Swingin' Brass, nothing else is worth buying from his Reprise years, and the Jobim effort is among the worst.

Sinatra and Jobim collaborated during the height of the bossa nova craze in 1967, producing a classic album. Sinatra was in rare form, eschewing the upbeat swing phrasings for a smooth vocal style so liquid that it seems to pour from the speakers. He and Jobim perform seven classic Jobim numbers and a trio of standards. Standouts include "Once I Loved," "Dindi," and "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars."
