Summary of This Sheet Music
The first volume of a new series dedicated to the "Big Band Sinatra" repertoire, this program highlights iconic songs in dynamic orchestral versions designed to immediately capture the swing feel and ensemble leadership typical of large ensembles. The Nashville All-Stars, under the direction of Tim Smith, offer a very tight interpretation, with particular attention to attacks, dynamics, and pulse, resulting in a performance that is both elegant and effective.
The major asset of this release lies in the presence of guide vocals: Gary Willner, known for his tone and style close to the "Chairman," provides a model of diction, rhythmic placement, and phrase shaping especially useful for singers, conductors, or any ensemble wishing to work on the Sinatra aesthetic (light swing, clear articulation, text intention, breathing). The result is a reliable and musically rich backing track, ideal for rehearsals as well as preparing a performance.
The program includes: "When You're Smiling" (2:03, key Ab-A), "Blue Moon" (2:52, Db), "You Do Something To Me" (1:35, D), "Paper Moon" (2:19, Eb), "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" (2:59, C), "Should I?" (1:35, Ab-A), "September In The Rain" (3:02, D), "Always" (2:15, Eb-E), "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" (2:29, A), and "Falling In Love With Love" (1:52, A-Bb). ZOPC
