Frank Sinatra Sinatra’s Swingin’ Session!!! on Numbered Limited Edition Hybrid SACD from Mobile Fidelity!

Fastest-Paced Swing Effort of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ Career

Crooner At His Vocal Peak Throughout: Sinatra Not Only Keeps Time WithHard-Driving Band, He Leads the Parade

Legend has it that when Frank Sinatra initially stepped into the recordingstudio for the first of four sessions, he asked Nelson Riddle to speed up thetempos to the songs that landed on Sinatra’s Swingin’ Session!!! It’s safe tosay that the arranger followed orders and that the results—buoyant, cheery, fun,exuberant, zesty, and wonderfully jazzy—speak for themselves. This 1961effort remains the Chairman’s fastest, hardest-swinging set. And oh, how itswaggers.

Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limitededition hybrid SACD of this gem possesses a punchiness, immediacy,forcefulness, and dynamic heft that rivals even what’s heard on a pristineoriginal Capitol pressing—provided you can even find one. The digitalreissue will help convert your room into a studio stuffed with horn players andpercussionists, with Sinatra, decked out in a trademark fedora and suit, holdingcourt at the center of it all. Sinatra’s Swingin’ Session!!! isn’t a livealbum, but it hits with the gusto and tang of one.

Forget about incorrect rumors that state that this album was only completed dueto contractual obligations and that Sinatra hurried through the material. Nomatter the circumstances, nothing here is tossed-off or rushed. As always, Sinatra takes it all seriously, pouring his all into each of the dozen trackshere. He wouldn’t have it any other way. Name another singer from his era(or any) that could possibly keep time with these uptempo beats and sound as ifhe isn’t even breaking a sweat. Needless to say, Sinatra has a blast making itall happen.

Riddle’s arrangements help push forward the tunes, whether they be happystandards such as “When You’re Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You),”optimistic finger-snappers like “S’posin’,” or the evergreen “Blue Moon,”punctuated with a memorable tenor sax solo. Melodies unfurl like red ribbonson packages; grooves alternate between galloping and gallivanting; even balladscan’t resist moving to joyous rhythmic patterns. Throughout, Sinatra’scasual, uninhibited singing rises above the band, producing emotions that are atonce frisky, lighthearted, pleasurable, and contagious. Dust off your dancingshoes.
