Album Info

Release Date: 2017

Label: Concord Jazz

Renowned jazz guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli will mark the anniversary of a landmark collaboration with the 28 July release of Sinatra & Jobim @ 50.
Frank Sinatra's 1967 combination with the bossa nova composer Antônio Carlos Jobim on the Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim album was widely hailed as a career highlight for both artists. Pizzarelli's new project pays tribute to that release, adding two original songs, an ode to Jobim by Michael Frank and versions of tracks recorded by Frank and Antonio at a 1969 session.
Pizzarelli considers Sinatra and Jobim to be two of his greatest influences, and the new album will be further enhanced by the presence as his vocal partner of Jobim's grandson, Daniel Jobim.

Recorded January 2017. Daniel Jobim's vocals were recorded separately in Rio de Janiero and overdubbed in the US.
