3.0 out of 5 stars A lovely record if it were just 7 songs long!, 10 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This is referring to the first 7 songs because,frankly I'm not even going to talk about the second 7! That said, this album is a wonderful demonstration of the sort of sublime music-making Sinatra could achieve (with the right collaborators and the right music ),and the sort of unmusical nothingness he all-too often slipped into at this late stage in his career. He teams up with Eumir Deodato, who puts out some wonderful arrangements matched only by the beautiful melodies he was arranging (the harmonic range he covers is breathtaking and only goes to highlight his later success as a producer for other big acts like Earth Wind and Fire,Kool and the gang,Robera Flack even Bjork!) Again, as with the wonderful Sinatra /Jobim collaboration a few years earlier Sinatra shows just what a gift he had for singing these gems and why it was even more criminal he was wasting away singing bilge like "You can drink the water and I will drink the wine" or singing about what he did "his way", no matter how awful the song! His vocals are waning badly at this time (and they never got any better) yet he still manages to find the control and the stamina to sing in an oh so hushed way that lends itself beautifully to these songs.Just listen to his phrasing,and then just try singing along with him! This was his last great effort and we should be thankful for it ('Someone to light up my life' has moved me virtually to tears too many times to remember such is the perfection of the song,his singing and Deodato's arrangement),as for the rest,well,'Close to you' is nicely done but buy this album for the first 7 songs alone.....I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Sinatra and Jobim, 11 Jan 2000
This is a CD of two halves, with two very different recording sessions. The first is like a continuation of the great Sinatra/Jobim album and it's wonderful. 'Don't ever go away' is beautiful beyond description, and the orchestrations by Eumir Deodato are lovely.

Musical quality takes a nosedive in the second half, although Sinatra sings as well as ever and the orchestra under Don Costa is excellent. Some of the songs are just awful, some are covers of songs which sounded much better with the original artists. The most successful is a song written for Kermit the Frog, which should give you some idea... Still, some of you people out there may like them.

Highly recommended for the Sinatra/Jobim half.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sinatra & Jobim... a perfect couple again...., 27 April 2000
By A Customer
Unfortunately Sinatra never issued the second album he made with A.C. Jobim. Ten songs were recorded, but for some reason this album (for wich the cover already was made ! ) Sinatra&Jobim never made it into the shop. So eventually Reprise put 7 songs of the session on this set. And again like on the first session with Jobim, they're all wonderfull, i especially love Aqua de Beber, the other 7 songs are songs arranged by Don Costa. These songs are unmemorable kiddie-pop numbers, but i like Leaving On A Jetplane better than the original by John Denver. If you liked the first Sinatra & Jobim album, you won't regret buying this one !

5.0 out of 5 stars Jobim sessions are priceless
This is an unusally hard-to-find Sinatra release, but the first 7 tracks with Jobim are among the finest things he recorded. Read more
