Es gibt kaum etwas, womit ich meine Zeit lieber verbringen würde.” – Frank Sinatra Dieses Jahr, am 12. Dezember, wäre Frank Sinatra 100 Jahre alt geworden. Anlässlich dieses Jubiläums hat Capitol/Universal Music eine neue, die komplette Karriere des legendären Entertainers umspannende Collection seiner zeitlosen Musik zusammengestellt. Ultimate Sinatra ist als 25 Track- CD, 26 Track-Download, 24 Track-180g Vinyl Doppel-LP und als limitierte 101 Track Deluxe 4CD- und Download-Version erhältlich und vereint erstmals die wichtigsten Columbia-, Capitol- und Reprise- Aufnahmen in einem Paket. Alle Formate enthalten bisher unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen von Sinatra und die 4CD-Deluxe, bzw. 2LP-Vinyl Versionen enthalten zusätzlich Download-Codes für weitere Bonustracks. Frank Sinatra ist die Stimme des 20. Jahrhunderts und seine Studiokarriere dauerte unglaubliche sechs Jahrzehnte: 1939 sang er seinen ersten Song ein und seine letzten Aufnahmen machte er im Jahr 1993 für sein weltweit gefeiertes, mehrfach mit Platin ausgezeichnetes Album Duets and Duets II. Alle Versionen von Ultimate Sinatra beginnen mit “All Or Nothing At All”, aufgenommen mit Harry James and his Orchestra am 31. August 1939 bei Sinatras erster Studiosession. Es war die erste von fast 100 Bigband-Aufnahmen mit den Harry James und Tommy Dorsey Orchestern. Es folgten mehr als 50 Jahre mit Sessions für Columbia (1943-1952), Capitol (1953-1962; 1993-1994) und sein eigenes Label Reprise (1960-1988). Die 1CD-Version von Ultimate Sinatra ist randvoll mit 25 herausragenden Aufnahmen, die einen Querschnitt durch Sinatras unvergleichliche Karriere als Musiker bilden. Vom ersten Track “All Or Nothing At All” bis zum letzten Ton einer alternativen Version von “Just In Time” ist die Sammlung voller Highlights wie z. B. “I’ll Never Smile Again” (1940), “I’ve Got The World On A String” (1953), “In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning” (1955), “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” (1956), “Come Fly With Me” (1957), “The Way You Look Tonight” (1964), “Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)” (1964), “Strangers In The Night” (1966), “My Way” (1968) und “Theme From New York, New York” (1979). Bei der Standard-Downloadversion gibt es einen zusätzlichen 26. Track: das lebhafte “Chicago”. Auf der limitierten 4CD-, bzw. digitalen Deluxe Version von Ultimate Sinatra finden sich ganze 100 Tracks für 100 Jahre (und ein zusätzlicher, bisher unveröffentlichter Bonustrack), darunter viele weitere fantastische Aufnahmen, die Sinatras wohlverdienten Beinamen The Voice nochmals unterstreichen. Als besonderes Special gehört zu der 4CD Deluxe Edition eine zusätzliche Download- EP mit vier weiteren, bisher unveröffentlichten Aufnahmen (erhältlich mit einem Download-Code). Die chronologisch aufgebaute Collection taucht noch tiefer in Sinatras musikalische Welt und seine legendären Aufnahmen ein und endet schließlich mit einer bisher unveröffentlichten Version von “The Surrey With The Fringe On Top”, die 1979 bei einer Probe entstand. Die Deluxe Edition enthält außerdem ein 80-seitiges Booklet mit einem neuen Essay des Sinatra-Spezialisten und Schriftstellers Charles Pignone, seltenen Fotos und Zitaten von Frank Sinatra und seinen Kindern Nancy, Tina und Frank Jr., sowie Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Quincy Jones, und weiteren. Als er gegen Ende seiner Karriere nach seinem Lieblingssong und -album gefragt wurde, antworte Sinatra: “Ich habe über die Jahre so viele wundervolle Songs aufgenommen, da kann ich wirklich keinen einzelnen Titel herauspicken. Es gibt viele, die mir aus dem einen oder anderen Grund wichtig sind. Ich habe auch kein bestimmtes Lieblingsalbum. Sehr stark im Gedächtnis geblieben sind mir z. B. Only The Lonely, Wee Small Hours und Come Fly With Me, weil ich finde, dass da die Arbeit des Orchesterleiters und meine Arbeit besonders gut miteinander verschmolzen sind. Frank Sinatras 100. Geburtstag (12. Dezember 2015) wird 2015 auf der ganzen Welt gefeiert: mit einer neuen Bühnenshow, großartigen Ausstellungen, Musik- Video- und Buchveröffentlichungen, besonderen Partnerschaften und Kollaborationen, großen TV- und Filmevents und einer Reihe von eigenständigen Tributes und Konzerten. Die ultimative FRANK SINATRA 100 App hält Fans regelmäßig mit Updates über die offiziellen Aktivitäten und Jubiläumsveranstaltungen auf dem Laufenden. Die App steht zum kostenlosen Download für iPhone, iPad, iPad touch und Android Tablets zur Verfügung und wird ständig mit exklusiven Sinatra 100-Inhalten und anderen Updates auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. ÜBER FRANK SINATRA Frank Sinatra ist eine Legende und wird für immer den amerikanischen Traum verkörpern. Auch heute noch beeinflusst er die Popkultur: Musik, Film, Kunst, Theater, Mode, usw.

  • Pioneers of the Concept Album
    Fancy Meeting You Here: Pioneers of the Concept Album Todd Decker Abstract: The introduction of the long-playing record in 1948 was the most aesthetically signi½cant tech- nological change in the century of the recorded music disc. The new format challenged record producers and recording artists of the 1950s to group sets of songs into marketable wholes and led to a ½rst generation of concept albums that predate more celebrated examples by rock bands from the 1960s. Two strategies used to unify concept albums in the 1950s stand out. The ½rst brought together performers unlikely to col- laborate in the world of live music making. The second strategy featured well-known singers in song- writer- or performer-centered albums of songs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s recorded in contemporary musical styles. Recording artists discussed include Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, and Rosemary Clooney, among others. After setting the speed dial to 33 1/3, many Amer- icans christened their multiple-speed phonographs with the original cast album of Rodgers and Hammer - stein’s South Paci½c (1949) in the new long-playing record (lp) format. The South Paci½c cast album begins in dramatic fashion with the jagged leaps of the show tune “Bali Hai” arranged for the show’s large pit orchestra: suitable fanfare for the revolu- tion in popular music that followed the wide public adoption of the lp. Reportedly selling more than one million copies, the South Paci½c lp helped launch Columbia Records’ innovative new recorded music format, which, along with its longer playing TODD DECKER is an Associate time, also delivered better sound quality than the Professor of Musicology at Wash- 78s that had been the industry standard for the pre- ington University in St.

  • My Way: a Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra Has Audiences, Artists Singing “The Best Is Yet to Come”
    Sinatra Tribute Lights Up The Phoenix Theatre Company’s Outdoor Stage My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra has audiences, artists singing “The Best Is Yet To Come” (PHOENIX – March 18, 2021) The Phoenix Theatre Company concludes its series of socially- distanced outdoor shows with a swoon-worthy tribute to musical great Frank Sinatra. My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra features the story and music of the first great popstar. The high-energy production runs at The Phoenix Theatre Company’s socially-distanced outdoor venue April 14 through May 23. My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra is a walk down memory lane through the music of one of the greatest artists of all time. The production is set in a mid-century cabaret-style bar with an ensemble of four performers singing and dancing their way through vignettes of Sinatra’s life story. The Phoenix Theatre Company’s production includes modern touches in the costuming, an LED screen which serves as a backdrop and the high quality lighting and sound design audiences expect from The Phoenix Theatre Company. “Frank Sinatra was one of those rare performers who left audiences electrified,” says D. Scott Withers, director of My Way at The Phoenix Theatre Company. “His songs are timeless, tender and tough all at the same time. He drew people in with his approach to the lyrics and after the song ended, he left the air charged. He had a voltage.” The show includes Sinatra favorites and hidden gems performed by a three-piece orchestra and local Phoenix artists familiar to The Phoenix Theatre Company stage.

Jordana Lauren Metz And They Lived Happily Ever After: The Effects of Cultural Myths and Romantic Idealizations on Committed Relationships ABSTRACT This study explored the impact of idealized relationships, present in our media and culture, on committed relationships. The purpose of this study was to explore the ways that relationships are impacted by real and idealized relationship discrepancies. In addition, this research provided an initial assessment of the coping mechanisms utilized by partners as problem solving responses to the discrepancies. Twelve participants, self-identified as in a committed relationship with a partner and living together for over one year, participated in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with questions focusing on how the participants’ relationships fit and do not fit into idealized notions of relationships, how their partnership is affected by this relationship discrepancy and the ways that they cope and respond to these effects. Findings indicated that many participants experienced feelings of discomfort, questioning and doubt in their relationship due to the prevalence of idealized relationships.

  • Solomon and Sinatra: the Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case a Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016
    1 Solomon and Sinatra: The Song of Songs and Romance in the Church Robert Case A Sunday School Class Faith Presbyterian Church Tacoma, Washington 2016 Part 3 There are a multitude of biblical themes expressed by non-believing Jewish songwriters in the American Songbook, but one fine example for our purposes in this class is the theme of: no Sex before marriage “Love and Marriage” In 1955 Jimmy Van Heusen (a Methodist) with Jewish lyricist Sammy Cahn wrote “Love and Marriage” which was introduced (ironically) by Frank Sinatra in the television production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. It is the biggest hit to ever come out of a television special. In 1956, the song, "Love and Marriage" won the Emmy Award for Best Musical Contribution from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The Cahn inspired clever lyrics euphemistically call “sex” “love” and claim that mom told dad you can’t have sex (“love”) without marriage. The song was used as the theme song for the long-running (1987–97) FOX television sitcom Married... with Children. Additionally, the song has been used in several national commercial campaigns. “Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell you brother you can't have one without the other. Love and marriage, love and marriage, it's an institute you can't disparage. Ask the local gentry and they will say it's elementary. Try, try, try to separate them it's an illusion Try, try, try, and you will only come to this conclusion.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.
