September in the Rain

Frank Sinatra - "Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!!" (1961) - Capitol Records

Hello Friends,

Tonight on Vinyl in the Valley we're rocking out to some late Capitol-era Frank Sinatra.  Ol' Blue Eyes is in peak form on this 1961 release covering such classics as "When You're Smiling", "Blue Moon", "Paper Moon", "September in the Rain", "My Blue Heaven" and "Always."

Backed by Nelson Riddle's fiery and upbeat orchestra, these tunes are among the fastest tunes ever recorded by Sinatra.  Some tunes-- like "Paper Moon" and "My Blue Heaven"-- almost seem like they've been recorded in double-time.  Hey Frank... pass those jazz salts down this way!  A swingin' session indeed!
