Free Music Review: THREE OF A KIND and a full house....
Hit: 5 Stars
....and the payoff's huge for every listener. Another example of why every vault in every studio should be opened is this great "summit meeting" of three of the biggest and best entertainers in the world, found recently and released by the good people at Capitol Records. Here we have Frank, Dino and Sammy on familiar turf, Jack Entratter's Sands Hotel. All three are in spectacular form, but special mention must be given to Dean's being particularly in swingin' form and not quite so laid back. He gets a nice launching pad with a medley of "I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine" and "I Love Paris" (rendered as I Love VEGAS) with special referential lyrics written no doubt by Sammy Cahn for Ol' RED Eyes. Listen to the fun Dean has when he wanders through "June In January" with Antonio Morelli's orchestra (see kudos to them later) Anyone fortunate enough to have the great 2 CD set on the Jazz Hour label (The Villa Venice, Chicago IL concert from '62) will know most of the jokes and punch lines here, but there are a few new ones. The usual set up finds Dean opening for Frank, and Frank comes on and does his thing with the usual flair, with a very swingin' set, interspersed with ballads ("My Heart Stood Still" and the "7-month old song" of the time, Cahn and Van Heusen's "Call Me Irresponsible") Of course, "Luck Be A Lady' closes Frank's segment, and then it's Sammy's turn. To anyone else, it's a most inenviable task to follow someone like Sinatra, but Sammy always did, and did it with verve. He "steals" one of Sinatra's numbers in "The Lady Is A Tramp" and blasts his way through it. During the stretch we're treated to the "salad bar" speech, one of the many monologues the Rat Pack so often did when in concert. The Italians take two songs from "Guys and Dolls" and swing their way through them, backed by the aforementioned Antonio Morelli orchestra, whose work on this date (and any other, for that matter, as they often backed anyone who worked in L.V. at this time, including Sammy on his "THAT'S ALL" 2 CD set recently released) is nothing short of exquisite. This orchestra never hit one bad note. The guys had their comfort zones in the pit, though, if you will. (Dean had his piano player Ken Lane; Frank had Bill Miller; and Sammy had band leader George Rhodes and some of his own orchestra on the scene.) A fantastic CD release to sink your teeth into and go back to an easier time and definitely swing to! Thank you Capitol, and thank you Frank, Dean and Sammy!
