Sinatra’s ‘Nothing But The Best’
Warner Bros. Records released “Nothing But The Best” as a compilation album in 2008 to honor the tenth anniversary of the passing of Frank Sinatra.
The recordings on this album are tracks during the time Sinatra recorded during the time he was recording at his Reprise label. Produced by Charles Pignone, predictably, the album went gold in December 2008.
Pignone is the author of New York Times bestseller “The Sinatra Treasures” and once held the… Read the rest

Merry Sinatra Family Christmas
Reprise records released a holiday album in 1968 featuring Frank Sinatra and his children: Nancy Sinatra, Tina Sinatra and Frank Sinatra, Jr. Together they sing with a perfect title that says it all – “The Sinatra Family Wish You a Merry Christmas”.
Two long-time Sinatra arrangers, Don Costa and Nelson Riddle, arrange and conduct the tracks with the Jimmy Joyce singers as backing vocals. The album illustrates the diversity and talents of Sinatra’s children. For… Read the rest

Sinatra and Daughter Nancy, ‘The World We Knew’
“The World We Knew” was released in 1967 as an album through Reprise Records. But, it seems more like a singles compilation that a true album.
Interestingly, the album demonstrates how profoundly Frank Sinatra pursued the pop charts during the late 1960s. Rock-oriented music is much of the pop recording with folksy acoustic guitars, reverb, fuzz guitars, drum kits, wailing harmonicas, string, organs and brass charts that accent the songs instead of being… Read the rest

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. at Villa Venice, Chicago
The two volume set on two CDs might not be consider legitimate releases, but are with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. The album is apparently a bootleg version, but if officially released in 1963 would easily have been a Sinatra top seller.
The recording was authorized, professionally edited and assembled. Unfortunately, it never hit the streets until 1993 through the Jazz Hour label. It’s hard to guess why it was never released… Read the rest

In the Wee Small Hours
The album was produced in 1955 by long-time Frank Sinatra collaborator Voyle Gilmore with arrangements by another long-time collaborator Nelson Riddle. In The Wee Small Hours Sinatra clearly perfected his approach of recording a concept album, the songs were all ballads and recorded with a predominant mood of late-night isolation and aching lost love. Reportedly, the songs related to the end of his relationship from Ava Gardner.
Although Sinatra and Gardner remained married until 1957,… Read the rest
