Sinatra Jobim The Complete Reprise Recordings

"This compilation album gathers tracks from two sets of recording sessions Frank Sinatra did with Brazilian singer/songwriter Antonio Carlos Jobim, in 1967 and 1969. The first set resulted in the ten-track LP "Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim" (1967). Jobim joined Sinatra, singing on "The Girl from Ipanema," "I Concentrate on You," and "Baubles, Bangles and Beads," with bossa nova arrangements by Claus Ogerman. The 1969 sessions were intended for a never-released follow-up LP to be called "SinatraJobim". Despite being separated by two years, the first ten tracks and the second ten fit well together. Sinatra sings gently and sensitively throughout. The chief difference lies in the musical backing, as the 1969 tracks were arranged by Eumir Deodato, with orchestra conducted by Morris Stoloff, and they have less of a Brazilian feel. Still, the sessions have always belonged together and constitute a special niche in the Sinatra catalog." (William Ruhlmann, Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
