NEW VINYL LP ON JAZZ IMAGE 2021 180 GRAM VINYL. Sinatra had long since mastered the microphone, which had become his instrument, capable of a full-on roar or a whisper so intimate it seemed to be spoken inside the listener’s head. Tackling things like “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “I Won’t Dance” took him back to a kind of repertoire he had mastered two decades before. The youthful sheen hadn’t quite left the voice and age hadn’t yet darkened it. Basie wasn’t the greatest sight-reader and may not have played on all the tracks, but his band knew the score and Sinatra-Basie remains a collaboration of great strength and naturalness. - Penguin Jazz to Jazz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinatra–Basie:_An_Historic_Musical_Firs Tracklist A1 Pennies From Heaven 3:28A2 Please Be Kind 2:41A3 (Love Is) The Tender Trap 2:35A4 Looking At The World Thru Rose Coloured Glasses 2:29A5 My Kind Of Girl 4:35A6 Pennies From Heaven 2:41B1 I Only Have Eyes For You 3:29B2 Nice Work If You Can Get It 2:35B3 Learnin' The Blues 4:24B4 I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter 2:34B5 I Won't Dance 4:06B6 Nice Work If You Can Get It 2:21 Show more
