Free Music Review: "You Play The Same Love Song . . . It's The Tenth Time You've Heard It"
Hit: 5 Stars
Last Sunday's Grammy Awards Night gave me an emotional trigger to listen to this CD and appreciate its eternal charms! I was so delighted with the opening number -- Frank Sinatra and Alicia Keys' "digital duet" of "Learnin' The Blues." It was amazing and I love everything about it! The orchestral arrangement is simply grand. My heart just melted the moment Ol' Blue Eyes started singing and as always, he looked so slick and debonair. And surprisingly, I was impressed with Keys' outstanding performance, which is a showcase of her flawless phrasing, expansive vocal range and piano playing skills. I think singing the standards from Great American Songbook will truly enhanced the beauty of her vocal art. I hope someday she will record this music genre and include this great "digital duet." She will definitely do more than justice to the Great American Songbook.
It's a general knowledge amongst Sinatra fans that he waited for twenty years to realize his dream of recording with Count Basie. And this dream-come-true CD, "Sinatra-Basie" is that dream's reality. Sinatra with Count Basie and His Orchestra show their most energetic forms as they swing to Neil Hefti's over-generous chart arrangements. They surely had the most fun recording this lively album of ten tracks starting off with "Pennies From Heaven" to the finale, "I Won't Dance."
My favorites from this set include "I Only Have Eyes For You," "Love Is The Tender Trap," "Nice Work If You Can Get It" and of course "Learnin' The Blues," a song composed and written by Dolores Vicki Silvers.
"You play the same love song
It's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning, just one of those clues
You've had your first lesson in learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone
The blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd
The blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep
The whole night you're crying
But you can't forget him
Soon you'll even stop trying
You'll walk the floor
And you wear out your shoes
When you feel that heart break
You're learnin' the blues."
If you're like me who loves the big band sound, you'll absolutely adore this CD. It's one of the finest Sinatra recordings of all-time. You might also enjoy It Might as Well Be Swing and Sinatra at the Sands for more great listens!
Wholeheartedly recommended for your listening delight forever!
Sinatra-Basie Poster
The first of three albums that Frank Sinatra recorded with swing legend Count Basie, Sinatra-Basie is also the best. Sinatra's voice doesn't sound in great shape, but he pushes himself throughout to keep up with the jazzy twists and turns of Basie's band; the resulting tension makes for a thrilling listening experience, especially for those who think of Sinatra as more of a saloon balladeer than a jazz singer. "Learnin' the Blues," "I Only Have Eyes for You" and "(Love Is) the Tender Trap" are the highlights of the set, but all ten of the tracks are winners. --Dan EpsteinBlues Music CDs
