Four time Grammy nominee Michael Feinstein has just released The Sinatra Project
The new album is a tribute to The Chairman of the Board himself, Frank Sinatra and is Feinstein’s first recorded tribute to another performer. With the help of producer-arranger Bill Elliott, Feinstein realized they wanted to record an album of great romantic songs that had been sung by Ol’ Blue Eyes.
The release was recorded the old fashioned way: the entire band in one room, drums next to the trumpets and saxes, using only a handful of microphones to capture the warmth and depth of the music added Elliott.
The album includes classics such as “Fools Rush In,” “I’ve Got a Crush on You,” “At Last Love,” “Exactly Like you,” and many more. Feinstein not only pays homage to Sinatra, but to many of his contemporaries, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat “King” Cole, Rosemary Clooney and other great singers of the post-war, pre-rock years. They even called upon Sinatra’s favorite songwriting Alan and Marilyn Bergman to consult as Feinstein recorded “The Same, Hello, the Same Goodbye” originally written for Sinatra.
