John Pizzarelli is noted for his sensitive vocals, which recall the relaxed stylings of Nat "King" Cole and Chet Baker, as well as for his fluid, inventive guitar playing. On this album of covers of songs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Pizzarelli wisely avoids the pitfalls of Ol' Blue Eyes imitations in favor of his own intimate approach, best heard on the set's more relaxed arrangements, like "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Nice and Easy," and "You Make Me Feel So Young." Both attention-grabbing and supportive, his expertly arranged big band accompaniment likewise evokes the ring-a-ding-ding of the Rat Pack era while steering clear of mere pastiche.
Personnel: John Pizzarelli (guitar); Jeff Clayton , Keith Fiddmont (clarinet, alto saxophone); Rickey Woodard, Charles Owen (clarinet, tenor saxophone); Lee Callet (bass clarinet, baritone saxophone); Gilbert Castellanos, James Ford , Sal Cracchiolo, Bobby Rodriguez, Bijon Watson (trumpet); George Bohanon, Maurice Spears, Robbie Hioki, Ira Nepus, Ryan Porter (trombone); Tamir Hendelman (piano); John Clayton, Christoph Luty (bass instrument); Jeff Hamilton (drums).Down Beat (p.65) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "He has chosen wisely...Pizzarelli is backed by nine bright big band charts...all crisply played by the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra..."
JazzTimes (p.84) - "[S]marter and eminently more pleasurable than the dozens of cookie-cutter tributes that have preceded it." **Super Audio CD (SACD)**

With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz.
Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, enduring work of its kind. There was just such a vibe about these 1959 sessions--Miles' lyric genius and burgeoning stardom, the innovative voicings and rarefied touch of pianist Bill Evans, the electrifying presence of Coltrane and Cannonball--that some thirty-plus years after its initial release, KIND OF BLUE is still recognized as Davis' point of departure towards jazz's less-explored regions.
Bill Evans' translucent chords and Paul Chambers' famous bass line herald the revolution that is "So What": Davis and Evans' taut, coiled lyricism stands in sharp relief to the saxophonists' labyrinthine elation. ...
