Using the poetry of Norman Sickel as a guide, eight composers were assigned different colours to create a musical composition, with Victor Young, Jeff Alexander, Alec Wilder and Nelson Riddle composing two numbers each.  The end result, one of Frank Sinatra's rare forays with a baton rather than a microphone, is an interesting collection to say the least.   While several of the composers produced songs that were entirely in keeping with their earlier work, a number stepped outside their normal boundaries.   The end result is a compelling album as Frank conducts an orchestra of some sixty musicians.
