I'm listening to Sinatra "Live at the Sands"... |
|
with the Count Basie Orchestra while I finish cleaning my apartment. And I just gotta say it is the tightest live album I've ever heard. They are tighter live than most people could ever hope to be in a studio. Just. Wow.

was the first piece I ever learned in high school jazz band and when Sinatra sings it I just get so sentimental. :)
I just hit "Luck Be a Lady" and it's hard not to just dance around the apartment. :)

6. I'm ok with the Rat Pack... |
|
in small doses. What gets on my nerves is when they talk over each other when they're singing. I know it probably seemed funny at the time...but I buy the albums or videos to hear the music...not to hear Dean Martin talk over Frank or Sammy singing. :shrug:

12. Maybe it's just me... |
|
but there's something about Dean Martin that I just don't get. He seems more sad to me than funny. :shrug:

It's Might As Well Be Swing? Fan-dam-tastic! Their version of Hello Dolly just kicks ass!

14. "How did all these people get in my room?" |
|
Absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time.
My dad was a jazz musician (trumpet). When I was a little kid he used to come home late at night from a gig, with one or two of his musician friends. They'd make scrambled eggs, drink scotch and listen to Sinatra At The Sands. Fond memories.
