Thanks John. You'd think with such mad skills I might have qualified for an AMA this year.

Sinatra's studio albums have not all been treated well on CD. The early Capitol CDs were a bit thin, but when they were remastered (“Entertainer of the Century” series), they were sonically butchered with signal processing. Rhino did a great job with the first Sinatra-Jobim album, though. I'm not sure about the rest of his Reprise catalog. Hopefully this new set has been treated with similar craft.

In the video department, one must lament that the Great Performances special from the late 1990s featuring the best Sinatra studio television performances has not, to my knowledge, been released on DVD. Some great stuff incorporated in that PBS television special is found on a DVD titled Frank Sinatra – A Man And His Music + Ella + Jobim, but it is out of print and very expensive. Thank goodness my library bought a copy.

“but the fact remains that Frank Sinatra was a giant, and we will not see his like again.” – here here!
Mr Sinatra is one of my favorite performers ever. I regret never attending a concert of his. I will start saving my pennies today! As far as good crooners go, I dig on Mel Torme and Dino.
