Moonlight Sinatra

Description

Universal Music are proud to announce the first Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack vinyl reissues under the new global Signature Sinatra label, encompassing special selections from across both the Capitol and Reprise repertoire strands which are remastered on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl complete with download vouchers.

Driven by a set of lush, sparkling Nelson Riddle arrangements, Moonlight Sinatra is a low-key, charming collection. Although the basic concept is somewhat nebulous all of the songs have the word moon in the title Riddle wrote a series of charts that suggest a warm, lovely evening with a variety of tones and moods, from light Latin rhythms to sweet ballads. While the album is a minor entry in Sinatras catalog, it is nevertheless an enjoyable, romantic listen. Half of the songs on Moonlight Sinatra were originally associated with Sinatras idol Bing Crosby, making the album something of a loose tribute. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
