## Description

It's virtually impossible to imagine a more swinging combination than Frank Sinatra---the premier pop vocalist of an adoring generation---and the mighty orchestra of Count Basie. Such a scintillating summit meeting actually unfolded not once but twice in the studio. This collection brings together both of those historic album-length collaborations, originally on the label Sinatra founded, Reprise Records. It's a thoroughly satisfying soiree.

Review: Does Not Get Any Better - Frank & the Count? Come on! It just can't, and doesn't, get any better than this. Of course, like many others, I've had these two now-joined recordings previously on vinyl, then cd, then remastered cd in the complete Reprise studio collection, and downloaded onto my iPod. But it's great to have these recordings on one beautifully sounding disk There's Sinatra & Jobim, Sinatra & the Duke, and Sinatra duets with Ella (He & she doing Lady is a Tramp on video is one of the pop music classics of all time.) and Satch (The two doing Birth of the Blues on video is another.), and there's Sinatra & Basie. I mean, if this were philosophy--which in some senses it is--we would be talking Aristotle and Plato. Classical music--Mozart & Bach. Opera--Puccinni & Verdi. Yes, Frank & the Count is magnificent and enduring and as new and fresh as when the two of them performed together at the Sands or recorded these two albums. Oh, and did I mention "Q"--as Sinatra would call him--i.e., Quincy Jones conducted and arranged these. Just cannot be exceeded!
Review: Definitely worth getting... - Don't be mislead, this compilation is worth getting -- in my opinion even if you have the original two Reprise studio albums. "Frank Sinatra - Count Basie: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings" is a remastered compilation of two of the most interesting Sinatra records in his vast catalog -- "Sinatra-Basie: An Historic Musical First" and "It Might as Well Be Swing" are artfully rendered into a single 20 track masterpiece that pays tribute to the too brief and truly historic union of Frank out in front of Count Basie and his amazing band. Remastering these recordings was a bit worrisome to me because they were laid down so well in the original Reprise album releases. After spending several hours listening to and comparing this new release with the original albums, I need not have worried -- the folks at Concord, BluWave Audio and the sundry engineers involved in this effort absolutely nailed it! A Masterful Remaster... One of the principle areas I focus on when reviewing a digital remastered album is ... "can I discern a quality difference". In other words, can you actually hear and appreciate the end product of the remastering effort. I mean, what's the point of remastering if you can't hear a noticeable quality benefit. The team that took on Sinatra and Basie's best were truly masterful. Frank... There is a subtle, noticeable and beneficial "rounding" of Frank's vocals. To be clear, the original recordings are in no way deficient -- in fact they are excellent -- but Frank's entries, exits and tonal quality on this edition experiences a definite depth of field enhancement. Again, it is subtle but Sinatra's amazing vocal stylings on these classic Basie Band recordings sound deep and round without ANY dissociative effects. There is no sense that the vocals have been over enhanced or "punched up" in a way ... no notion that they stand apart from the music. The vocal/music integration remains beautifully interlaced. Basie... The audio engineering Jedi mastering really hits home with Basie's music. Like the vocals, the original albums were laid down really well, so making improvements must have been a challenge, but the engineers rose to that challenge and hit the music tracks out of the park. The original sound stage (instrument positioning) was excellent but gets even more positional clarity with enhancements to virtually every instrument in Basie's band. Maybe the biggest positive impact is with Basie's piano which now arrives naturally clear and more forward by just the right amount. Additional big benefits are heard in the sax, the bass and the flute ... the entries and exits on the sax are clear, round and beautiful and you can damn near hear the bassist fingers on the strings. The songs with that lilting flute ... wow. All natural and crisp in the mid tones and absolutely no mud on the low end. Conclusion... The bottom line is "Sinatra & Basie's The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings" album is definitely worth snaring -- even if you already own the full Sinatra-Basie collection. The discernible quality difference translates into an enhanced listening experience that I think is well worth the asking price. (Check out my full review on the Vocalstandards site)
