Michael Feinstein: Sinatra Project March 20, 2010

A leading connoisseur of the Great American Songbook, singer Michael Feinstein has made a brilliant career of performing forgotten treasures by the likes of the Gershwins, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin. His latest album, The Sinatra Project, is a tribute not only to Ol’ Blue Eyes, but to arrangers Nelson Riddle and Billy May. Recorded live in the same studio as Sinatra’s classic Capitol Records-era hits like Come Fly With Me and Only the Lonely, the album features new arrangements of classic songs—plus two undiscovered tunes Sinatra never got around to recording. Celebrating his 25th anniversary as a performer, Feinstein brings this vibrant project to life with a blazing big band and his own inimitable panache.
