    " He can sure sing for a white fella."
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2018*

" He can sure sing for a white fella." This is a quote from Sammy Davis who was backstage when Frank was singing with the Basie band in concert- I saw this on You Tube. For me this quote captures the essence of this date. I have several Sinatra recordings, including his early work and his work with Capitol with Nelson Riddle. While that music is great, sometimes it didn't swing. This does. And also it helped me to understand why many believe Sinatra was the greatest popular singer of the 20th century. He does not have the range of Streisand , Sarah Vaughn or Whitney Houston. His sound may not be as mellow as Como or Johnny Mathis. He may not be as soulful as Marvin Gaye. But you can understand every word he says. He delivers the lyrics with perfect timing and in perfect coordination with the ( other ) band instruments and he can build his solo to a climax that is uncanny. And in front of this Jazz orchestra, he meets the challenge of swinging hard as well as any ( black) jazz singer could. This is great music and a must have for any jazz aficionado. His tribute to Louis Armstrong on " Hello Dolly" is something special.

    A Couple of Lousy Song Choices or it Might Have Been Great!
  

*by G***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2002*

This outing with the Basie Band is a mixed bag: some absolutely outstanding numbers and some perplexingly dumb choices. In brief:1.Fly me to the Moon: Classic Sinatra.  A must have.2. I Wish You Love:  Nicely done. No problem.3. I Believe in You: Another Classic well done.4. More:  Ehhh, so-so.  Adequately done but no great shakes as it is a better instrumental than vocal song.5. I Can't Stop Loving You: Frank, this wasn't your song!  And Quincy Jones what is with the hokey C&W flavored arrangement.  Terrible.6. Hello, Dolly!:  Well I could have hated this too, but in the 2nd refrain the Basie Band and Sinatra turn it into a tribute to Louis Armstrong, and for that, it's a keeper.7. I Wanna Be Around:  Good track.8. The Best is Yet to Come: Worth buying the CD just for this.  One of the best songs ever written, done to a fair-thee-well by Quincy Jones, the good Count and Ol'Blue Eyes!9.  The Good Life:  Okay.10. Wives & Lovers:  Good cover of an okay tune.So buy it for tracks 1,3,7 & most especially 8.  The first outing with Basie was the best, but these 4 classic songs save this CD from the never-mind pile.

    Great Tunes
  

*by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2015*

This record changed my life. When it arrived, I was excited, but I would never have been able to predict the grave and tremendous consequences of my foolish actions. As soon as the needle touched the vinyl, my curse began with the noise of angels singing in graceful harmony. The smooth piano of Count Basie, the gentle voice of Frank Sinatra. Frank and Splank sent me to paradise...but only for the first track. Once the next song began, I started to hear dark deep noises. Scratches, crying, grunts, the sound a sticky liquid makes when it runs over a smooth surface...I could hear myself laughing, but I wasn't laughing. Two songs full of hell in, I fell. I sort of tripped but I fell into a room that wasn't there before. It was dark and cold...there were dark marks and streaks on the walls and ceiling...but none on the floor. I was there for one song and it seemed to be the longest song ever recorded, the noises getting even louder over the smooth big band. Then I was back with the record player. Surrounding me were the entrails of my parents. I had apparently killed them and spread them like floor cleaner. Those guys sucked anyway. I like this record. 10/10 would kill again.
