Additionally, most of these songs are great songs to know as a Jazz musician, and the best place to learn them is from the source. It’s something I often feel that drummers neglect, but ballad playing is extremely important. This album is a great example of playing a ballad, but driving the time in the context of a large, 70 piece orchestra. Tracks 12-15 were arranged by Nelson Riddle, and you can hear a distinct difference between Riddle’s arranging and Jenkins’ arranging. The original record included tracks 1-11, stopping after “None But the Lonely Heart”. This album is exclusively ballads, and you can hear Bill Richmond, Nick Fatool, Alvin Stoller, and Irv Cottler on this album. It is one of the saddest album I’ve ever heard, and one of the most beautiful. No One Cares is a 1959 Sinatra album with Gordon Jenkins as arranger. While Sinatra’s voice, sense of swing, and emotion were all contributing factor to his music, we have to remember that his music was truly a success thanks to the arrangers, and musicians who made the music with him. While I do agree that he is in a different category, or medium as singers such as Billie Holiday, or Ella Fitzgerald, he is still my favorite Jazz singer, and I have no problem saying so. They see him as a crooner that didn’t sing true, pure “Jazz”. He has sold over 150 million records (continuing), and starred in many films and musical films such as The Manchurian Candidate, Guys and Dolls, High Society, and many more.ĭue to his massive popularity, I often feel like Jazz musicians tend to discount his impact, or singing ability. Born in 1915, in New Jersey, Sinatra started his career singing with bandleaders such as Tommy Dorsey and Harry James, and eventually found massive success as a solo artist.
