The final album in the trilogy of Frank Sinatra collaborations with conductor and arranger Billy May, this 1961 release follows Come Fly With Me and Come Dance With Me! and served as a showcase for Capitol’s new Full Dimensional Stereo.

“Billy May did some fine stuff here with eight trumpets, four French horns, a tuba, six trombones, two bass trombones, rhythm, percussion and a harp. From the liner notes: ‘Working from this unusual instrumentation, Billy split the brass into sections which answer or echo each other and come through with backing in the same class as Frank’s singing.’” –Nancy Sinatra

Arranged by Billy May, Come Swing with Me! was Frank Sinatra’s final swing session for Capitol Records. The album falls somewhere between the carefree Come Fly with Me and the hard-swinging Come Dance with Me!, borrowing elements of the humor of Fly and the intense, driving rhythms of Dance. Recorded without strings or saxes, the brass-heavy sound of the album was noticeable, but it wasn’t nearly as distinctive as the ping-ponging stereo effects of the album. With its extreme stereo separation, Come Swing with Me! has a bizzare, off-kilter feel that is accentuated by Sinatra’s restless vocals. At the time of recording the album, Sinatra was also recording I Remember Tommy for Reprise and his affections were with his new label. That doesn’t mean he sounds careless on Come Swing with Me! — in fact, his intense, speedy energy gives the album an edge that distinguishes the record. The album might not be as special as his two previous May collaborations, but it does have enough genuine gems to make it necessary. –Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Come Dance with Me! is an album by American vocalist Frank Sinatra, released in 1959. Come Dance with Me! was Sinatra’s most successful album, spending two and a half years on the Billboard charts. Stereo Review wrote in 1959 that “Sinatra swaggers his way with effortless verve through an appealing collection of bouncy standards, aptly described in the album notes as “vocals that dance”.” At the Grammy Awards of 1960, Come Dance with Me! won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, as well as Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance, Male. Billy May won the Grammy Award for Best Arrangement. Come Dance With Me stayed on Billboard’s Pop album chart for 140 weeks, peaking at #2.

Working with Billy May again, Frank Sinatra recorded his hardest swing album ever with Come Dance with Me! Driven by an intensely swinging horn section, the album has a fair share of slower numbers, but the songs that make the biggest impression are the up-tempo cuts. With May’s charts wildly careening all over the place, Sinatra relies on his macho swagger; as a result, Come Dance with Me! is an intoxicating rush of invigorating dance songs. –Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Frank Sinatra – A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra (1957/2014)

This seasonal collection of Yule tide classics sung by Frank Sinatra in his late-1950s incarnation, with impeccable string arrangements by Nelson Riddle, contains convincing performances of favorites like ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem,’ ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,’ and ‘I’ll Be Home for Christmas.’
It’s a tribute to Sinatra’s versatility and professionalism that this oft-sung set comes off sounding simultaneously fresh, original, and heartwarming. Includes liner notes by Pete Welding.

It can be argued that Sinatra never sounded fully comfortable singing Christmas carols, and this record is no exception. While his other albums of the period are bursting with dash and sensitivity, this is a distant, even slightly lackadaisical performance. It’s no dud on its own, but compared to the classic Christmas records of other artists, and especially to Sinatra’s best work, it is unusually somber. Gordon Jenkins’ adventurous arrangements are occasionally intrusive, but the album has touches of magic during “The Christmas Waltz” and “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.” —Jim Smith

Released in 1957, the same year as Elvis Presley’s hit Christmas album, Sinatra’s first Christmas record is like a conservative op-ed in response to the King’s subtly radical bumrush. It’s the essence of Eisenhower’s America, bottled and giftwrapped with a red and white bow on top. This was the fourth album Sinatra recorded in a very good year, and he sings like he has the universe effortlessly balanced on the brim of his hat. At times the arrangements and back-up singing get in the way. But when he taps the nostalgic tug of ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ and ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” it’s mistletoe magic. —Rolling Stone

1. Jingle Bells 01:59

Designed as a musical trip around the world, Come Fly With Me was Frank Sinatra’s first collaboration with arranger/conductor, Billy May. Recorded at Capitol Studios and released in 1958, Come Fly With Me spent five weeks at number one on the charts. It was also Grammy-nominated for Album of the Year. Come Fly With Me was recorded in true stereo but was mixed to mono for its release, a standard practice by Capitol records at the time.

Constructed around a light-hearted travel theme, Come Fly With Me, Frank Sinatra’s first project with arranger Billy May, was a breezy change of pace from the somber Where Are You. From the first swinging notes of Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen’s “Come Fly With Me” — which is written at Sinatra’s request — it’s clear that the music on the collection is intended to be fun. Over the course of the album, Sinatra and May travel around the world in song, performing standards like “Moonlight in Vermont” and “April in Paris,” as well as humorous tunes like “Isle of Capri” and “On the Road to Mandalay.” May’s signature bold, brassy arrangements give these songs a playful, carefree, nearly sarcastic feel, but never is the approach less than affectionate. In fact, Come Fly With Me is filled with varying moods and textures, as it moves from boisterous swing numbers to romantic ballads, and hitting any number of emotions in between. There may be greater albums in Sinatra’s catalog, but few are quite as fun as Come Fly With Me.

Tracklist:
01 – Come Fly With Me
02 – Around The World
03 – Isle Of Capri
04 – Moonlight In Vermont

Watertown is a later album by Frank Sinatra and tells a heartbreaking story in a series of soliloquies. It is the only album on which Sinatra sang over pre-recorded instrumental tracks. The songs were written by producer Bob Gaudio (of The Four Seasons) and Jake Holmes. Some of the songs from the album were later covered by artists such as Nina Simone (“For A While”) and Cake (“What’s Now Is Now”).

Watertown is Frank Sinatra’s most ambitious concept album, as well as his most difficult record. Not only does it tell a full-fledged story, it is his most explicit attempt at rock-oriented pop. Since the main composer of Watertown is Bob Gaudio, the author of the Four Seasons’ hits “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You,” “Walk Like a Man,” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” that doesn’t come as a surprise. With Jake Holmes, Gaudio created a song cycle concerning a middle-aged, small-town man whose wife had left him with the kids. Constructed as a series of brief lyrical snapshots that read like letters or soliloquies, the culminating effect of the songs is an atmosphere of loneliness, but it is a loneliness without much hope or romance — it is the sound of a broken man. Producer Charles Calello arranged musical backdrops that conveyed the despair of the lyrics. Weaving together prominent electric guitars, keyboards, drum kits, and light strings, Calello uses pop/rock instrumentations and production techniques, but that doesn’t prevent Sinatra from warming to the material. In fact, he turns in a wonderful performance, drawing out every emotion from the lyrics, giving the album’s character depth.

01 – Watertown
02 – Goodbye (She Quietly Says)

The Ray Brown Trio consisted of Brown’s colleagues Gene Harris, who plays a lot of piano that sounds rich, full-bodied, and not overly refined. The trio also features Jeff Hamilton, one of the stand-out drummers of the latter-day Woody Herman Herds. The Ray Brown Trio recorded this album live at The Loa in Santa Monica, CA, in July 1988. The club no longer exists, but at the time it was co-owned by Ray Brown.

Ray Brown has many great contributions to jazz as a leader and a sideman, but one additional way in which he helped jazz was his encouraging Gene Harris to give up his early retirement and go back out on the road. The pianist was a part of Brown’s groups for several years before he formed a working quartet and became a leader for good once again. This 1988 concert at a since-defunct Santa Monica night club (co-owned by Brown) finds the two, along with drummer Jeff Hamilton, at the top of their game. A phone ringing in the background distracts momentarily from Brown’s opening solo in his composition “The Real Blues,” during which Harris repeats a bluesy tremolo, which may be an inside joke about the early distraction. Harris take a blues-drenched approach to “Mona Lisa” before giving way to the leader’s solo, while his lyrical approach to “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man” is shimmering. Hamilton’s soft brushes are prominent in “Little Darlin’,” but his explosive playing provides a powerful pulse to the very unusual strutting take of “It Don’t Mean a Thing”. This extremely satisfying Album is warmly recommended.

Tracklist:
01 – Summer Wind
02 – The Real Blues
03 – Li’l Darlin’
04 – It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)
05 – Mona Lisa
06 – Buhaina Buhaina
07 – Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man
08 – Bluesology

The second Concord album was recorded the day after the first with the same lineup: guitarists Herb Ellis and Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Jake Hanna. Pass would sign with Pablo but Ellis would be a fixture on the Concord label throughout the 1970s. If anything, the guitarists’ rematch was a bit stronger than their first due to material better suited for jamming including “In a Mellotone,” a speedy “Seven Come Eleven,” “Perdido” and “Concord Blues”.

Tracklist:
01. In A Mellow Tone
02. Seven, Come Eleven
03. Prelude To A Kiss
04. Perdido
05. I Am Confessin’ (That I Love You)

This recording features 2 musical giants, the late Ray Brown & the late Gene Harris. Ray Brown leaves us in no doubt why he was always regarded as the jazz world’s No.1 bass player. Gene Harris demonstrates his ability to bring the ‘blues’ feel that is the very essence of jazz, to his performance of any tune on the album. Groove Note Records owner Ying Tan produced the SACD edition of the album with the SACD mastering credits going to David Glasser at Airshow Mastering in Boulder, Colorado.

Bassist Ray Brown’s 1985 trio (featuring pianist Gene Harris and drummer Mickey Roker) is heard in fine form throughout this swinging set. In addition to five standards and Brown’s own blues “Captain Bill,” there are a couple of unlikely but successful selections: Tyree Glenn’s “How Could You Do a Thing Like This to Me” and “Love Me Tender.” Although there is actually only one blues among the eight numbers, Gene Harris infuses all of the selections with the feeling of the blues and consistently steals the show.

Tracklist:
01. Have You Met Miss Jones?
02. Meditation
03. Street Of Dreams
04. Lady Be Good
05. That’s All
06. Love Me Tender
07. How Could You Do A Thing Like This To Me?

Ray Brown, Gene Harris & Gerryck King are spectacular in this 1984 recording. Red Holloway (tenor sax) & a rare appearance by the great Emily Remler (guitar) round out the original musicians.

This album is important as an early milestone in pianist Gene Harris’ second career. Harris, who had led the popular Three Sounds in the 1960s, had been living in obscurity in Boise, ID, for several years before he was urged by bassist Ray Brown to come to the West Coast for some recording sessions. Harris became a permanent member of Brown’s regular trio for quite a few years before launching his own quartet. He had lost none of his technique, soul, or swing in the interim, as he shows throughout this fine release. Seven of the eight numbers (highlighted by “Exactly Like You,” “Teach Me Tonight,” and “Sweet Georgia Brown”) feature Brown, Harris, and drummer Gerryck King playing soulful bop, while “Mistreated But Undefeated Blues” adds guitarist Emily Remler and the tenor of Red Holloway. An excellent effort.

Tracklist:
01. Exactly Like You
02. Cry Me A River
03. Teach Me Tonight
04. Take The “A” Train
05. Mistreated But Undefeated Blues

At the end of the Magic sessions, Springsteen found himself still writing songs. Encouraged by producer Brendan O’Brien, he recorded during breaks on tour, exploring a classic pop sound for an album release coinciding with Super Bowl XLIII and the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Working on a Dream was Springsteen’s 16th studio album released under Columbia Records in 2009. The album reached number 1 on the Billboard 200, U.S. Rock albums and U.S. Digital Albums. The single, “The Last Carnival” pays tribute to E Street organist Danny Federici, who passed away in 2008.

From its bright, brittle production to its tossed-off postage stamp cover art, Working on a Dream is in every respect a companion piece to Magic, an album that’s merely a set of songs, both sprawling and deliberately small, songs that don’t necessarily tackle any one major theme but all add up to a portrait of their time. Magic chronicled the dog days of Bush where Working on a Dream is designed as a keynote to the Obama age, released just a week after the inauguration of the U.S.’s 44th president and not coincidentally containing not a little optimism within its 13 tracks. This sense of hope is a tonic to the despair that crept into the margins of Magic but it’s easy to posit Working on a Dream as pure positivity, which isn’t exactly true: a hangover from W lingers, most vividly in the broken spirit of “The Wrestler,” and Bruce mourning departed E Street Band member Danny Federici with “The Last Carnival.” Springsteen peppers his tribute with images recalling the early days of the E Street Band but saves a revival of their wild, woolly sound for the opening “Outlaw Pete,” a cavernous, circular, comical epic reminiscent of Springsteen’s unwieldy portraits of rats on the Jersey Shore. “Outlaw Pete” is Working on a Dream at its best, playing like nothing less than The E Street Shuffle as reflected and refracted through Arcade Fire’s naked hero worship, casually highlighting how producer Brendan O’Brien has gently nudged the Boss toward new musical avenues. Many of these new sounds are drawn from the past, often feeling informed by Little Steven’s Underground Garage – Van Zandt and Nils Lofgren’s guitars chime like the Byrds; the band knocks out a tough little blues number on “Good Eye”; and Springsteen shows a knack for pure pop on “Surprise, Surprise” and indulges his ever-increasing Brian Wilson fascination on “This Life,” whose percolating organs and harmonies rival the High Llamas. All this rests nicely alongside the Boss’ trademarks – galloping rockers that fill a stadium (“My Lucky Day”) and their polar opposite, his intimate acoustic tunes (“Tomorrow Never Knows”) – which all make Working on a Dream read like a rich, inventive, musical album…which it is, to an extent. The ideas and intent are there, but the album is hampered slightly by the overall modesty of Springsteen’s writing – by and large, these are small-scale songs and feel that way – and hurt significantly by the precise, digital production that muffles the music’s imagination and impact. A large part of Springsteen’s appeal has always been how the E Street Band has sounded as big and open as his heart, but Working on a Dream, like Magic before it, has a production that feels tiny and constrained even as it is layered with extraneous details.

Human Touch is the ninth studio album by Bruce Springsteen. The album was released on March 31, 1992. The album was co-released on the same day as Lucky Town. It was the more popular of the two, and it peaked at number two on the Billboard 200, with “Human Touch” (paired with Lucky Town’s “Better Days”) peaking at number one on the Album Rock Tracks chart and #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Bruce Springsteen has always been steeped in mainstream pop/rock music, using it as a vocabulary for what he wanted to say about weightier matters. And he has always written generic pop as well, though he’s usually given the results away to performers like Southside Johnny and Gary “U.S.” Bonds. Sometimes, those songs have been hits – think of the Pointer Sisters’ “Fire” or Bonds’ “This Little Girl Is Mine.” Occasionally, Springsteen has used such material here and there on his own albums; some of it can be found on The River, for example. But Human Touch was the first Bruce Springsteen album to consist entirely of this kind of minor genre material, material he seems capable of turning out endlessly and effortlessly – the point of “I Wish I Were Blind” is that the singer doesn’t want to see, now that his baby has left him; “57 Channels (And Nothin’ On)” is about TV; “Real Man” finds the singer declaring that, while he may not be an action hero like Rambo, he feels like a real man in his baby’s arms. And Springsteen, having largely jettisoned the E Street Band (keyboardist Roy Bittan remained), enlisted some sturdy minor talent to play and sing, among them ace studio drummer Jeff Porcaro (on one of his final recording sessions), Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, and Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers. It’s pleasant enough stuff, and easy to listen to, but it is not the kind of record Springsteen had conditioned his audience to expect, and its release brought considerable disappointment. The reaction was exacerbated by the drawn-out release schedule that by 1992 had become common to superstars: this simply wasn’t the record Springsteen fans had waited four and a half years to hear. Though at nearly 59 minutes it was the longest single-disc album of his career (which is not even counting the fact that a second whole album was released simultaneously), and though it contained several songs that could have been big hits – the “Tunnel of Love” sound-alike title track, which actually made the Top 40, “Roll of the Dice,” an AOR radio favorite, “Man’s Job,” and even “Soul Driver,” which belonged on the next Southside album – Human Touch was an uninspired Bruce Springsteen album, his first that didn’t at least aspire to greatness. Springsteen may have put out the more substantial Lucky Town at the same time in recognition of the relatively slight nature of the material here.

01 – Human Touch
02 – Soul Driver
03 – 57 Channels (And Nothin’ On)

Greetings from Ashbury Park, N.J. is the debut studio album by Bruce Springsteen. Originally released in 1973, the album only sold about 25,000 copies but made a strong impression with critics and would go on to become a successful album, peaking at #60 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album featured two singles, “Blinded by the Light” and “Spirit in the Night”. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at #379 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Bruce Springsteen’s debut album found him squarely in the tradition of Bob Dylan: folk-based tunes arranged for an electric band featuring piano and organ (plus, in Springsteen’s case, 1950s-style rock & roll tenor saxophone breaks), topped by acoustic guitar and a husky voice singing lyrics full of elaborate, even exaggerated imagery. But where Dylan had taken a world-weary, cynical tone, Springsteen was exuberant. His street scenes could be haunted and tragic, as they were in “Lost in the Flood,” but they were still imbued with romanticism and a youthful energy. Asbury Park painted a portrait of teenagers cocksure of themselves, yet bowled over by their discovery of the world. It was saved from pretentiousness (if not preciousness) by its sense of humor and by the careful eye for detail that kept even the most high-flown language rooted. Like the lyrics, the arrangements were busy, but the melodies were well developed and the rhythms, pushed by drummer Vincent Lopez, were breakneck.

Tracklist:
01 – Blinded By The Light
02 – Growin’ Up
03 – Mary Queen Of Arkansas
04 – Does This Bus Stop At 82nd Street?
05 – Lost In The Flood
06 – The Angel
07 – For You
08 – Spirit In The Night
09 – It’s Hard To Be A Saint In The City

Garry Tallent – bass guitar

Additional musicians:
Richard Davis – upright double bass on “The Angel”
Harold Wheeler – piano on “Blinded By the Light” and “Spirit In The Night”
Steven Van Zandt – sound effects on “Lost in the Flood”[17]

Recorded on four-track cassette in his New Jersey bedroom, Nebraska has proved one of Springsteen’s most enduring works, a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching not for salvation through music but simply a reason to believe. His sixth record, Springsteen appeared by himself without the E Street Band backing him up. He later recording with the band, but ultimately chose to put out the demos for a more natural sound.

There is an adage in the record business that a recording artist’s demos of new songs often come off better than the more polished versions later worked up in a studio. But Bruce Springsteen was the first person to act on that theory, when he opted to release the demo versions of his latest songs, recorded with only acoustic or electric guitar, harmonica, and vocals, as his sixth album, Nebraska. It was really the content that dictated the approach, however. Nebraska’s ten songs marked a departure for Springsteen, even as they took him farther down a road he had been traveling previously. Gradually, his songs had become darker and more pessimistic, and those on Nebraska marked a new low. They also found him branching out into better developed stories. The title track was a first-person account of the killing spree of mass murderer Charlie Starkweather. (It can’t have been coincidental that the same story was told in director Terrence Malick’s 1973 film Badlands, also used as a Springsteen song title.) That song set the tone for a series of portraits of small-time criminals, desperate people, and those who loved them. Just as the recordings were unpolished, the songs themselves didn’t seem quite finished; sometimes the same line turned up in two songs. But that only served to unify the album. Within the difficult times, however, there was hope, especially as the album went on. “Open All Night” was a Chuck Berry-style rocker, and the album closed with “Reason to Believe,” a song whose hard-luck verses were belied by the chorus — even if the singer couldn’t understand what it was, “people find some reason to believe.” Still, Nebraska was one of the most challenging albums ever released by a major star on a major record label.

Tracklist:
01 – Nebraska
02 – Atlantic City
03 – Mansion On The Hill
04 – Johnny 99
05 – Highway Patrolman

The fourth studio album by Bruce Springsteen, Darkness on the Edge of Town is considered by many to be one of Springsteen’s most highly regarded records. Rolling Stone magazine has ranked it at #150 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and it has been certified triple-platinum by the RIAA.

Darkness on the Edge of Town was released in 1978, three years after Springsteen’s previous album Born to Run. The album follows Springsteen’s “four corners” approach to album structure. The songs beginning each side of the record are rallying, rousting numbers and the songs ending each side focus on hard circumstances that seem to obliterate all hope. Critics praised the maturity of Springsteen’s lyrics and themes on the album; and although Darkness on the Edge of Town did not generate any significant hit singles, the album itself was critically well-received and was called a landmark record in rock and roll.

Tracklist:
01 – Badlands
02 – Adam Raised a Cain
03 – Something in the Night
04 – Candy’s Room
05 – Racing in the Street
06 – The Promised Land
07 – Factory

Born in the U.S.A. was American rock musician Bruce Springsteen’s seventh studio album. It quickly became Springsteen’s biggest album and was the best selling album of 1985 in the United States. Born in the U.S.A.was extremely inspirational, the lyrics are viewed as a sign of hope for citizens working towards the American Dream.

The record produced seven top ten singles, including the title track, “Dancing in the Dark”, and “Cover Me”.Born in the U.S.A. hit number 1 in eleven countries and received numerous awards. The title track is self-described as one of his best songs. Reasonably regarded as the turning-point album in Bruce’s career.

Bruce Springsteen had become increasingly downcast as a songwriter during his recording career, and his pessimism bottomed out with Nebraska. But Born in the U.S.A., his popular triumph, which threw off seven Top Ten hits and became one of the best-selling albums of all time, trafficked in much the same struggle, albeit set to galloping rhythms and set off by chiming guitars. That the witless wonders of the Reagan regime attempted to co-opt the title track as an election-year campaign song wasn’t so surprising: the verses described the disenfranchisement of a lower-class Vietnam vet, and the chorus was intended to be angry, but it came off as anthemic. Then, too, Springsteen had softened his message with nostalgia and sentimentality, and those are always crowd-pleasers. “Glory Days” may have employed Springsteen’s trademark disaffection, yet it came across as a couch potato’s drunken lament. But more than anything else, Born in the U.S.A. marked the first time that Springsteen’s characters really seemed to relish the fight and to have something to fight for. They were not defeated (“No Surrender”), and they had friendship (“Bobby Jean”) and family (“My Hometown”) to defend. The restless hero of “Dancing in the Dark” even pledged himself in the face of futility, and for Springsteen, that was a step. The “romantic young boys” of his first two albums, chastened by “the working life” encountered on his third, fourth, and fifth albums and having faced the despair of his sixth, were still alive on this, his seventh, with their sense of humor and their determination intact. Born in the U.S.A. was their apotheosis, the place where they renewed their commitment and where Springsteen remembered that he was a rock & roll star, which is how a vastly increased public was happy to treat him.
