Title: Terrific swinging , not so great singing
Review: This album catches Frank with a great arranger. Overall, most of it is great and I find it great to have on whilst vacuuming the house. The standout arrangements and vocals would be GOODY GOODY and DON'TCHA GO 'WAY MAD. In fact , some of the melody lines for these songs are quite different and can take a few listens to get your head around if, like me, you're a singer and want to sing along.As a drummer, I've found this album to be a great way to practice this style of playing .It also features the great Earl Palmer playing drums and the punchy, riff driven arrangements of Neil Hefti, who did such a fine job on the SINATRA - BASIE album.Any Frank fan who loves the swingers could not go wrong with this album, SINATRA-BASIE or SINATRA AT THE SANDS .Recommended , though on the short side time wise at under 35 minutes.
