Coffe2, great call on the Ella stuff as a compliment to Frank. The "Sings the Songbooks.." by Ella are all sublime. I have been very impressed by the new pressings on heavy vinyl, they actually sound better than any of the very good older pressings I have found.
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.
