Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim

He obviously sounds fantastic, that’s just what Frank Sinatra does but there isn’t an awful lot else to it really

A really nice album. From time to time, I enjoy listening to Frank Sinatra. It stirs up warm, nostalgic feelings of a “clean” America in its “golden age”—even though the U.S. was neither clean nor golden back then. I’ll enjoy listening to this album every now and then, but not anytime soon. 3/5

I will listen to more Jobim because of this

I don't need Sinatra in my Jobim

I didn’t think Sinatra and bossa nova would mix but this was pretty good.

Classic crooning. Although too much crooning can be tiresome. Fortunately clocking in at just under 30 minutes seems to be a just fin dose of crooning.

Songs for people fancier than me. It's not bad but it isn't at all my thing.

Background Music for a dinner evening where you want to talk to your guests.

I’ve never understood why Sinatra is so revered, and this album didn’t sway me. His voice is fine, but I’m not hearing the genius that many others do. The songs were all smooth, the production lush. It was a pleasant listen but not much more than that for me.

Good crooner album, the usual Sinatra fare. A little less energy than some of his other albums.

Я готовий слухати Жобіна у будь-яких варіаціях, але дивом Сінатра дуже добре пасує тут і можливо навіть краще ніж класичні колаборації, як наприклад з Жилберту. Взагалі бразильська музика це моя слабкість, тим більше якщо ми розмовляємо про оригінальну м'яку босанову Жобіна.

Дуже гарний альбом, хоч і пісні тут всім відомі звісно ж.

I despise Bosa Nova. It makes me irrationally tense and annoyed. Frank does nothing to offset this. How many god forsaken versions of Girl from Ipanema must i suffer through in this list?

Great musicians … great singer … but there’s something about this that just doesn’t work

Dieses Album klingt, als würde man mit 80 auf der Autobahn dahinrollen: alles gemächlich, weichgespült, einschläfernd. Sinatra murmelt, Jobim klimpert, und die Songs ziehen sich wie Kaugummi im Regen. Eleganz ist da, klar – aber Spannung? Fehlanzeige.

I don't get the hate, seems like an album of lounge classics and brings Jobim to the American masses (I guess, no idea). Maybe not the best take on bossa nova, but we 900+ albums in I already know this is full of white-washed albums. As a standalone listen, this was 4*

Highlight: girl from ipanema (carries the album tbh)

Very pleasant but that's all it is

Old Blue Eyes meets bossa nova and frankly makes it dull. Bossa nova should have some latin charm and flow to it, but this is lacking from Sinatra’s spin on it

Frank Sinatra has a nice voice but I don't understand why I had to listen to Girl From Ipanema two and a half times.

2/5

Frank Sinatra can't sing bossa nova. A total mismatch - a whole that is less than the sum of its parts.
