Frank Sinatra with Count Basie - Sinatra At The Sands (1966)
FLAC | No LOG | CUE | Scans | 76:03 | 434 MB | RS
Conducted By Quincy Jones
Jazz/Big Band/Easy

Pop this on, close your eyes, and you'll be instantly transported back to the Vegas of 1966. The Sands Hotel was still the "class joint" where Sinatra and his Rat Pack buddies partied, held court, and occasionally even performed. This priceless document (Sinatra's first official live album) captures the Chairman of the Board in performance mode, ably supported by conductor-arranger Quincy Jones and Count Basie and his Orchestra. The set list comprises 16 Sinatra classics--including Come Fly with Me, One for My Baby (And One More for the Road), It Was a Very Good Year, and Angel Eyes - along with two Basie instrumentals and some seriously politically incorrect stage banter. Essential.

Great album, I've had it for ages and it's one of the best live Sinatra sessions I've heard.

For the audiofiles, there's a super 5.1 super multi-channel DVD-A version still alive and well on Avax:

I downloaded it last year and the sound is simply amazing!

@ jazzbuff: Yeah, seen that, looks great. I wish there was a full iso version (with stereo mix) for those of us who don't have a 5.1 system! But this version is very nice for stereo - not in the same league as DCC, but still very acceptable.

@LezDawson & Jazzbuff, I think the flac files of the DVD-Audio post are
preferable to iso because you have the flexibility of burning it to
DVD-V or DVD-A...or...downsampling as a 2-channel uber-master. Also, the
dvd audio version is very rare (going for upwards of $100US on Amazon and
Ebay). My advice is to get both versions: the CD (for people with no DVD
units that can play dvd-a, though most modern ones do) and the DVD
audio for dedicated CD systems and also converting to lossy for iPod use.
Believe me, the DVD-A sound can rock your socks off.

Either way, it's a terrific session!

@ 4 compton:

I've not had any good experiences of down-mixing 5.1 to stereo in the past - the mix is usually very poor, with often vocals too loud and drums too quiet or other elements off-balance.
Also, because FLAC files (and WAV files) are constructed differently to DVD-A files, I think that the only way for software to convert between the two is to RE-SAMPLE - so, even though both formats are 'lossless,' you lose some quality and it sounds a bit harsher and more 'digital.'

Grabbed....thanks !!! Listening here in my computer room to it on the PC that's connected with an old Pioneer A-339 stereo amp with 2 Harwood Compact Monitors (d'Appolito). Simply sounds good this album. Tomorrow it goes for real in the living room.
