I was just listening to Ella Fitzgerald sings the Cole Porter Songbook on vinyl 2 nites ago. Wonderful music! Hard to believe it was recorded when I was 3 yrs old! I own close to a dozen Sinatra records and they're all Capitol's. His later recordings on Reprise don't do it for me. If I had only one to choose from, it would definetly be Live at the Sands. Sinatra at his peak arranged by Quincy Jones, playing with the Count Basie Orchestra in a Las Vegas nightclub. Ring-a-ding ding indeed!!
Sinatra suggestions
Newbie poster here on the forums, but been a lurker since joining the A'gon a couple years ago.
I'm a big fan of 70s & 80s rock, but trying to broaden my musical tastes. I heard some Sinatra recently at a wedding reception that I really liked, but have no idea what the songs/albums were. I'm looking for album suggestions that have more lively tunes, I like the songs with a lot of horns.
I recently bought a MFSL copy of "Nice 'n Easy". The title track is really appealing, and the rest is good too but a tad slow for my taste. I have young kids, so when I get still and the music is slow, I tend to fall asleep. I've thought about getting "Live at the Sands", but figured I might first ask for advice from the folks on the forums. Thanks for any recommendations.
