Let’s Be Frank: A Celebration of Frank Sinatra Small Group
Featuring Sachal Vasandani & The Christian Tamburr Quartet
“a seamless amalgam of pop songwriting, tight R&B grooves and jazz textures and sonorities … his intelligent songwriting rises above mere pop-soul generics” ~Downbeat April 2025
Thoroughly rooted in Jazz, award winning vocalist Sachal Vasandani has the swagger to front the most swinging big bands and the vulnerability to present definitive classic ballads in a trio. With fresh new arrangements by pianist Christian Tamburr, Sachal leads us through the rare styling of Sinatra with a small group, which includes music broadcast between 1953-1955 on his radio show To Be Perfectly Frank, late 40’s sides for Columbia and the 1959 Live in Australia recording with the Red Norvo Quintet.
