Free Music Review: "Forevermore Became Goodbye . . . But You Remained In My Heart"
Hit: 5 Stars
There's never a dull moment listening to "Sinatra and Swingin' Brass" with all the songs interpreted to perfection. The arrangements written by Neal Hefti are totally engaging and full of exuberance making the entire CD one of the liveliest Sinatra recordings of all-time. Hefti is one of the most remarkable Sinatra arrangers whose body of work has truly impressed my ears. This project was the first-ever collaboration between Sinatra and Hefti, and the end result is such a gem of an album.
For the most part Sinatra sings in upbeat fashion showing off his exceptional vocal flair on timeless standards such as my favorites here, "They Can't Take That Away From Me," "I'm Beginning To See The Light," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me" and "I Love You." But his mood changes as he sings the most sentimental, pensive and hopeful "Serenade In Blue." This cut is also a favorite of mine, it is one of the most beautiful songs composed and penned by the songwriting team of Harry Warren and Mack Gordon, two of the most brilliant and intelligent wordsmiths and tunesmiths from Tin Pan Alley.
"When I hear that serenade in blue
I'm somewhere in another world alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to know
Many moons ago
Once again your face comes back to me
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
In the album of my memory
Serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday, a small caf?, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away I hear you say "forevermore"
And then the song became a sigh, "forevermore" became "goodbye"
But you remained in my heart
So, tell me honey, is there still a spark
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Should I go on whistling in the dark
Serenade in blue"
This recording is flawlessly produced by 'Ol Blue Eyes' very own Reprise Records and it remains one of the most irresistible Sinatra albums from his impressive body of work.
In conclusion, to aptly describe this recording in a few words, I'll quote one of the lines from "Ain't She Sweet?" Here goes...
"Me, oh my, ain't that perfection?"
Yes, indeed, it is!
Sinatra and Swingin' Brass Poster
This 1962 album was arranged and conducted by Neil Hefti, and the biff-bang-pow nature of the music will come as no surprise to those who recall that Hefti also scored the Batman TV series. In truth, the record is far more rambunctious than it needs to be. An arrogant-sounding Sinatra teams up with a relentless horn section to bulldoze their way through the likes of "I Get a Kick Out of You," "They Can't Take That Away From Me," and "Tangerine;" it's fun, but only in a clenched-teeth sort of way. As a bonus track, the CD includes the gruesome novelty "Everybody's Twistin'," which is really more of a sociological artifact than an actual "bonus." --Dan EpsteinJazz Music CDs
