Frank Sinatra: In The Wee Small Hours

Rating: ★★★

Record and Artist Details

Label:

Essential Jazz Classics

August/2018

The highlight of the Sinatra/Nelson Riddle collaboration, cut for Capitol in 1954-55, this is the epitome of the ballad-singing Frank, no tempo moving above a leisurely stroll and with Riddle’s consistently inventive counter melodies and orchestral voicings complementing the songs, as does Sweets Edison’s trumpet.
