Sinatra at the Sands
It is an amazing document of Sinatra in his environment. The sound quality is superior. It is a hall of fame arrangement and performance by Quincy Jones and the Count Basie Orchestra. Even the stage patter is classic. If you can't get the Vegas Box set, get this. If you have the Vegas Box set, get this.

One of the best if not the best Sinatra album
Not much to say other than classic mid-career Sinatra. If you love the guy's work you buy this.

one of the best..if not the best Sinatra CD ever!
THis is an outstanding CD. From "Cannon" introducing Frank to the selection of songs to the digitally re mastered versions.... a perfect compilation....

You feel like you're there!
I listen to this CD almost every day, especially when I need to escape from my current reality. That says a lot because I HATE it when things are overplayed, even if I love them in the beginning.

This CD, for me, can be summed up in one word: FUN.

Just pop this in the player, sit down with a Jack Daniel's on the rocks (or whatever your poision of choice is) close your eyes, and picture Sinatra on stage, right in front of you. You can hear glasses tinkling, people murmuring, but above all you hear the clash of cymbals, the pounding of the piano, and most importantly, you hear The Voice.

You can tell that Sinatra had a ton of fun throughout this taping, especially during the second track, "I've Got A Crush On You," where he's flirting and interacting with the audience. The "Tea Break Monologue" alone is worth the price of the CD for me. Sinatra is in his natural element, being charming and funny with his stories and jokes. Everytime I hear it, I stop and grin and wish I could have been there that night.

The instrumental on "Makin' Whoopee!" is beyond excellent and "Luck Be A Lady" is probably one of my favorite tracks. I can practically see Sinatra rolling a pair of dice across the table and praying that Lady Luck is still with him.

I highly recommend this CD and I know you won't regret it!

MAKE IT ONE FOR MY BABY AND ANOTHER ONE FOR THE ROAD
JUST IMAGHINE IT'S 1966, YOU'RE IN VEGAS, AT THE SANDS HOTEL (THE HIPPEST CASINO IN TOWN), SEEING FRANK SINATRA IN CONCERT WITH THE COUNT BASIE ORCHESTRA, WITH ARRANGEMENTS BY QUINCY JONES. YOU'D FEEL LIKE YOU DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN, RIGHT? WELL, THIS CD WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT THERE......'NUFF SAID.
