Format:Audio CD
At last we have all the classic recordings of Frank Sinatra's collaboration with Carlos Jobim on one CD, 12 songs were previously issued on one complete album then the rest ended up on a compilation of recordings called 'Sinatra & Company' and a few others lay in the vault for many years until now, all the songs have been remixed from the original multi-track tapes by Larry Walsh an engineer known to Sinatra lovers for his excellent work and ear, they have never sounded so good, the original 60's mixes had too much echo and the sound was confused but the new mixes are much dryer and clearer and better for it, the CD sounds beautiful and I now wish Concord would remix many other Sinatra albums from the 60's. No home should be without this wonderful album.

I'm a bit torn after having read both earlier reviews as I agree in part with both. However, I'm awarding five subjective stars [how could they be anything else?] after playing this collection several times, and despite what is certainly a lessening of quality in the later sessions, it is still marvellous to hear all twenty tracks in succession without a break. The first ten are obviously the best. I noticed [did others?] that the remastering from original sources has extended the lengths of several of these 1967 tracks so that you hear extended codas at the end of some numbers and this gives them a more spontaneous quality as Sinatra and Jobim exchange little phrases and scats. Also, Sinatra's vocals are cleaner and clearer on this re-issue so that you can hear how softly he extends many phrases. It's an object lesson in hushed, romantic bossa nova. So well done Reprise. My favourites? Possibly '...Ipanema' and 'Dindi' but it's a close call. The remaining ten tracks {7 of which come from the 1971 'Sinatra and Company') are more of a mixed bag. The 7 are sung beautifully although I feel that Sinatra's phrasing is more 'poppy' rather than 'bossa nova' on these. Perhaps as a reaction to the fuller orchestrations as opposed to Ogermann's delicate backgrounds. Still, 'The Song of the Sabia' is a treat as is, to a lesser extent 'Bonita'. However, 'Off Key' ['Desafinado'} is a poor performance. It's virtually impossible to be objective when it comes to Sinatra because you have to judge him apart from other singers simply because he was the best.However, the total package deserves top stars - after all it is Sinatra.

Smooth bossas and sambas, lots of tracks and a real gem of an item. One of my favourite Sinatra albums

A mixed bag, but worth hearing.
On the original LP pressings that this CD is taken from, Sinatra insisted that a couple of tracks were removed, as he wasn't at his best on them. Read more

unforgettable great music
timeless music, melodic and harmonic as only these two could do, what a combination of rare talent. A pity they didn't do more during their lifetimes.

Outstanding
This Cd makes a really good meal go down even better. The mix of Sinatra and Jobim is quite compelling. They make the whole thing come to life.

The good, the bad, the ugly
The background: late sixties, and Sinatra is in the middle of his "I'm recording some terrible rubbish but no one has the nerve to tell me" period, when he records Francis Albert... Read more
