IT'S HARD TO UNDERSTAND THE CRITISISMS THIS ALBUM HAS ATTRACTED OVER THE YEARS.IT'S A WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF REINTERPRETATIONS FROM THE DORSEY CATALOGUE WITH SINATRA IN SUPERB VOICE AND A DRIVING BAND PROPELLING THE WHOLE THING FORWARD. LET'S CONCENTRATE ON A FEW NUMBERS. STUNNING BREATH CONTROL IN 'THERE ARE SUCH THINGS', REAL PASSION ON 'TAKE ME', SUPER SWING ON 'I'LL BE SEEING YOU' AND 'THE ONE I LOVE (BELONGS TO SOMEBODY ELSE)'. THE BEST NUMBER MAY WELL BE 'EAST OF THE SUN (AND WEST OF THE MOON)' AT THE CONCLUSION OF WHICH (FRANK'S IDEA) HE REPEATS THE FINAL VERSE OF THE CHORUS COMPLETE WITH VOCAL PYROTECHNICS WHICH LEND AN EXCITEMENT TO THE SONG.(A SIMILAR DEVICE IS USED ON 'I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU' FROM 'SINATRA-BASIE!'THE FOLLOWING YEAR,1962.)ALL IN ALL, THE ALBUM IS A FINE EXAMPLE OF UPDATED BIG BAND SWING WORTH THE PURCHASE PRICE AND NOT JUST FOR COMPLETISTS.IN ADDITION THARE IS AN ADD ON TRACK VIRTUALLY UNOBTAINABLE ELSEWHERE 'IN THE BLUE OF EVENING' WHICH RECEIVES AN INIMITABLE READING.

I HAVE WRITTEN A REVIEW OF AN EARLIER VERSION OF THIS RELEASE WHICH INCLUDED AN ADD ON TRACK (THE RARITY 'IN THE BLUE OF EVENING') SO THIS RE-ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE SAME MINUS THAT EXTRA TRACK. IT'S BRILLIANT UPDATED BIG BAND (SY OLIVER) SWING WITH MR SINATRA IN SUPERB FORM THROUGHOUT. IT'S A RARELY HEARD SET NOWADAYS SO THIS RE RELEASE IS MOST WELCOME AND, HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL ENJOY IT TREMENDOUSLY. IN FACT IT'S ONE OF FRANK'S VERY BEST REPRISE ALBUMS.

Possibly Sinatra's best Reprise album, certainly more thoughtful than 'Sinatra Swings' or 'Ring-a-ding-ding', this is a very impressive collection of songs as Sinatra attempts to remember, and thank, Tommy Dorsey. Many of the songs were hits during the second world war and written about relationships temporarily (or permanently) broken by men and women going off in uniform to war. Other songs - 'There are such things', 'I'll be seeing you', and 'Without a song' - were written in an attempt to uplift spirits, the message being that war would eventually come to an end, the enemy would be defeated, and everyone had to maintain an optismistic outlook. Recorded not quite 20 years after VJ Day 1945, the songs in 1961 still resonated with an audience who well remembered WWII. Today, the songs may sound stilted, hackneyed, out of time but transcend their 1940s topicality and this is an imensely important album in the Sinatra canon, as uplifting today as it was in 1961, and as upliftring a portfolio of songs as it was when originally sung by Sinatra as he fronted Dorsey's band as 'The Voice'. The arrangements on the album closely ape those of Dorsey's and Sinatra's voice was never better with Sy Oliver conducting the orchestra, the same Sy who wrote 'Yes Indeed!' which turns up on Sinatra's Capitol album, 'Come Swing With Me!'

Sinatra with the best songs from his association with Tommy Dorsey. Brilliant music and singing.
More would be great, but of course the best in music has gone
