Frank Cognoscenti (Ronnie Scott's, Pizza Express Jazz) brings his brand of Sinatra-esque performance with over 20 years of experience performing the Sinatra repertoire worldwide including New Jersey and Palm Springs. Expect a swinging band, perfectly executed vocals mixed with a dry wit for a thoroughly entertaining experience.
This afternoon's show is the brainchild of jazz pianist, Edgar Macías. The project is inspired by Sinatra's rare recordings with a small band from his Radio Days show, "To Be Perfectly Frank", broadcast in the early fifties where he performed a 15-minute show live – twice a week – for two years.
Other inspirations for Edgar include Sinatra's collaboration with the Red Norvo Sextet during a tour in Australia in '59, the Paris Concert with Sextet, live in '62, the saloon songs with his pianist Bill Miller, and later on, in '67, the collaboration with the Brazilian composer & singer/guitarist Antonio Carlos Jobim, singing Bossa Nova.
Edgar Macías has also adapted some well-known big band arrangements of 'Ol' Blue Eyes' hits by the likes of Nelson Riddle, Billy May, Count Basie, Neal Hefti, Quincy Jones, and Don Costa to play in the small band setting.
Line up: Frank Cognoscenti – vocals Chris Bowden – saxes & flute Edgar Macías – piano Bill Coleman – bass Miles Levin – drums
