 When pop’s premier vocalist and the leading jazz orchestra first joined forces in 1962, it was hailed as the quintessential dream team. This CD, which combines that first recording, Sinatra-Basie: An Historic Musical First, with its 1964 followup, It Might as Well Be Swing, shows why. Backed by the Count’s big band, Old Blue Eyes never sounded more in sync with musicians, especially on signature songs like “Nice Work If You Can Get It” and “Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words).” A classic musical union.
