Cabaret favorite Michael Feinstein pays tribute to Frank Sinatra on his newest solo recording, which is due in stores in September.
Entitled "The Sinatra Project," the new CD from four-time Grammy nominee Feinstein is scheduled to arrive in stores Sept. 2 on the Concord Records label.Among the Sinatra classics on the CD are "Fools Rush In," "I've Got a Crush on You," "At Last Love," and "Exactly Like You" as well as "The Same, Hello, the Same Goodbye," which was penned by Alan and Marilyn Bergman for Sinatra. Feinstein also pays homage to Sinatra's contemporaries on the recording, including Ella Fitzgerald, Nat "King" Cole and Rosemary Clooney.In a statement Feinstein said, "For years I've had the desire to celebrate Sinatra's musical sensibilities, but I have no desire to copy the classic songs that he rendered better than anyone else. I wanted to create an album that would explore his style of singing and his style of music." The recording's producer-arranger is Bill Elliott.Photo by Walter McBride/ Retna Ltd.
