[share_ebook] 703: How I Lost More Than a Quarter Ton And Gained a Life

A groundbreaking new album featuring 12 never-before-heard Frank Sinatra arrangements, brought to life by Grammy-nominated artist Seth MacFarlane, and a 70-piece orchestra comprised of all-star players from Los Angeles and London at the coveted Skywalker Sound Studios in Marin County, CA. The album includes masterful arrangements by Sinatra's legendary collaborators - Nelson Riddle, Billy May and Don Costa - including a unique conceptual Nelson Riddle arrangement of "Lush Life" written for Frank Sinatra, which they attempted to record but never completed. `Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements' is more than a tribute album - it's a time capsule opened for the first time, of arrangements written for classic Sinatra albums such as `Come Fly With Me' and `Only the Lonely,' that were never recorded. MacFarlane's warm, expressive vocals breathe new life into these carefully preserved arrangements.

Glenn Prangnell’s Trouserphonic Records label is home to Groovy Uncle and Suzi Chunk and has done an excellent job keeping the flag flying for the beat and R&B sounds of the Sixties. This release, the first on the label that doesn’t feature Prangnell or Chunk, makes it clear from the off with the band's name that record producer Jim Riley has taken a slightly different route with his debut for the label.
