Full orchestra, yes, but strings are far from cheesy. Then there's "Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim". Any of these 3 is transcendent.

I like that one too, posted on November 6, 2024 at 09:46:20

Different "politically correct" times. "The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing, if you can fake that you've got it made." Groucho

I think Quincy Jones did the charts for that record, too. nt, posted on November 6, 2024 at 09:57:16

It's amazing how everyone's musical tastes differ. I gave my Sinatra/Jobim to Goodwill,, posted on November 6, 2024 at 13:10:03

Good thing I own two copies of "FAS and ACJ", one of Sinatra's best. And the reason it is so is that Frank lays back on the bossa rhythms, allowing you to feel the tenderness and love in Jobim's music. And even when he quotes Cole Porter's "I concentrate on you" or Irving Berlin's "Change Partners", he honors the bossa rhythm and sings the song very quietly in contrast to his typical night club brash style (which I also enjoy but which would not be appropriate with this music.

Lew Audiophile Posts: 10985 Location: Bethesda, Maryland Joined: December 11, 2000	you apparently like the songs "More" and "Hello, Dolly", which are both featured on the Sinatra/Basie album. Talk about cheesy... (All of this is in jest, only, though I do dislike those two potboilers.)
