FRANK SINATRA AT THE SANDS -Numbered 4530 Limited-Edition 180-gram LP Sourced from Original Master Tapes - OUT OF PRINT TREMENDOUSLY RARE - Sinatra singing superb in Concert at The Sands with Count Basie And THE Orchestra arranged and conducted by no less than Quincy Jones, it really doesn't get any better than this! Opening with hot sounding Basie band, Frank smoothly launches into a superb "Come Fly With Me" then on to an engaging and fun "I've Got A Crush On You" then to a killer version of "I've Got You Under My Skin" finding Frank at his sophisicated soulful best! Torch time sublime with a richly sung "The Shadow Of Your Smile" then on to a riveting "Street Of Dreams" clearly showing why Sinatra is King! Four A.M. in a saloon the master serves a classic "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)" and the audience goes crazy for this classic masterpiece! Sinatra incredible throughout this legendary event swings "Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)" like it has never swung before, one can feel the excitement from the audience and what a terrific time they are having. Sinatra's fun monologues were thankfully left in and what special moments these are, never growing tired and taking us back to another time and space in a very special way, Frank does a routine that is fun and funny about his friends Dean and Sammy that is priceless, Frank who had just turned 50, gives a personal view that is revealing and highly entertaining flowing in to definitive version of "You Make Me Feel So Young" brilliantly sung showing the master at his absolute peak in magnificent voice! Basie does a gorgeous "All Of Me" then Frank returns with a hauntingly brilliant "The September Of My Years" that is soulfully sung and amazing. A hot cooker "Get Me To The Church On Time" is another first-rate vocal as is the illuminating journey through years past in "It Was A Very Good Year", truly a Sinatra tour-de-force that was always a concert treat.

Count Basie Live At The Sands (Before Frank) Numbered Limited Edition Hybrid Stereo SACD

Count Basie and Frank Sinatra had the perfect arrangement at the Sands. Before the Chairman hit the stage in Vegas, Count Basie and his big band warmed up the already enthusiastic crowd with a brief set of their own. A dynamite entertainer, the legendary leader causes hearts to race, hips to shake, and fingers to snap with high-energy readings of his trademark swing music, taken to feverish heights by both his first-rate orchestra and the incredibly swank setting. Fortunately, the finest of Basie and Co.’s introductory performances from the historic 1966 dates have been preserved here and serve as a seminal complement to Sinatra's iconic Live at the Sands.

Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s hybrid SACD version of Live at the Sands (Before Frank) gives you a dead-center, eighth-row seat at the famed Sin City club. You’ll just need to supply your own table and cocktail. Renowned for its sonic clarity, transparency, crispness, and punch, the record is now tremendously enhanced, with improved tonality, a deeper soundstage, correct balances, and lifelike presence. Each horn occupies its own space, and Basie’s transfixing piano — a focal point throughout — resonates with gorgeous detail and impeccable pacing. The collective’s energy almost demands to be measured with an SPL meter.

Captured in late January and early February 1966, Live at the Sands (Before Frank) contains most of Basie’s signature pieces delivered with an enthusiasm, style, and brassiness that exceed that gracing nearly any of the Count’s studio efforts.His band is stacked to the nines, with tenor saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, saxophonist/flautist Eric Dixon, and drummer “Sonny” Payne among the prized cast. The Sands dates marked the first time in years that these players, as well as trombonist Al Grey, gathered onstage together.

Encouraged by Basie, the instrumentalists engage in a series of call-and-response passages and standout solos, not the least of which is Davis’ turn on a white-hot “Jumpin’ at the Woodside” and he and Dixon’s exchanges on “This Could Be the Start of Something Big.” No slouch, Basie approaches “Makin’ Whoopee” with graceful playfulness, and oversees the assortment of up-tempo swing numbers and mellow ballads with astute melodicism. A sublime version of the Don Gibson country standard “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” arranged by Quincy Jones, can almost be considered a bonus.

No, it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing - and Basie and his mates have plenty of it on this superb outing. Big-band jazz seldom enjoyed such levels of rhythmic precision, expert charts, or unfettered joy. Unbelievably, this gem has been out of print for years, with original copies both on vinyl and CD commanding steep prices. Mobile Fidelity’s reissue restores not only the sonics but the record’s place in jazz history.

Recorded January 26-29 & February 1, 1966 in the Copa Room, Sands Hotel, Las Vegas.
