With the passing of "the Chairman" earlier this year, the Capitol/Reprise double-team reissue campaign serves as a tribute as well as an awareness program of the original "Concepts" catalog - many titles not available over the last couple of years. Features 20-bit digital re-mastering and original artwork. Tracks include: "Come Fly with Me," "Moonlight in Vermont," "April in Paris," "Blue Hawaii," "Chicago," "South of the Border" and much more. When critics refer to Sinatra's Capitol albums, their highest praise is usually reserved for the dark melancholy of Wee Small Hours or Only the Lonely. But the upbeat "Swinging" records should not be ignored. Probably the finest of these albums is Come Fly with Me. The first of Sinatra's albums with arranger Billy May (whose arrangements have been overshadowed by Nelson Riddle's), Fly is the conceptual equal of Lonely-a carefree, romantic musical travelogue. From the opening invitation--one of Sinatra's most rollicking vocals--to the tender invocations of "Autumn in New York" and "April in Paris," and the serene seductiveness of "Moonlight in Vermont," Sinatra personified the modern traveler--jaunty, cosmopolitan, irrefutably cool. --Steven Mirkin
