Sinatraland by Patrick Williams and his Big Band is a stunning tribute to the legendary Frank Sinatra. The album features 10 tracks that capture the essence of Sinatra's music, from the classic big band sound to the smooth and sultry vocals. Williams and his band have done a remarkable job in recreating the magic of Sinatra's music, with impeccable arrangements and flawless execution.
The album opens with "Come Fly With Me," a swinging rendition of the classic song that sets the tone for the entire album. Other standout tracks include "The Lady Is A Tramp," "I've Got You Under My Skin," and "New York, New York," all of which showcase Williams' skillful arrangements and the band's impeccable musicianship. The album also features guest appearances by some of the finest jazz musicians in the industry, including saxophonist Tom Scott and trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.
Sinatraland is a must-have for any fan of Sinatra's music, as well as for anyone who appreciates the artistry of big band jazz. Williams and his Big Band have created a timeless masterpiece that pays homage to one of the greatest singers of all time while showcasing their own immense talent. Highly recommended.
