Sinatra '57 in Concert
Despite their close working relationship on a number of landmark albums, arranger-bandleaderNelson Riddlerarely appeared onstage with Frank Sinatra. This disc captures one of those concerts, a legendary Seattle show with a set list drawn mainly from the string ofclassic LPsthe singer was in the midst of making. In fine voice and emotional shading from "I Won't Dance" to "One for My Baby," Sinatra gives a dynamic, magnetic performance that makes one wish for a time machine. Far more rewarding than DCC's recent refurbishing of a Sinatra-Martin-Davisclub gig onThe Summit: In Concert,Sinatra '57is a must.--Rickey Wright
