Guest Chaney Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) For those who might be interested in hearing a heapin' helpin' of behind-the-scenes Sinatra, I've uploaded onto the Internet Ring-a-Ding Ding session material. This is two full CDs and a bit of a third, encoded at 320 kbs, all RARed into a neat little package. (I've never done this before so I hardly know what the hell I'm talking about.) Anyway, it's been tested and it works fine. What's cool about this particular offering is that all other session sets I've heard basically give you one or two flubbs of a tune and then what amounts to an alternate take. This set is much more extensive/exhaustive. It's a big file -- 352 MB -- and unless you have a Filecloud account ($4.95 per month for 500 MGs of storage space), you'll be made to wait. I'll leave this up until next Saturday, November 5. RADD <------ LINK REMOVED. See below. --Tony Enjoy! (Jim A.: Let me know if my doing this is not cool and I'll delete this thread. Or feel free to set the MasterBlaster on me. ) Edited November 6, 2005 by Chaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Thanks for putting this up, Tony. I'm listening to the first segment right now. Interesting to hear how involved FAS is in the proceedings, giving dynamic notes to the saxes, adjusting the tempo, talking to Conrad (Gazzo, lead tpt?). Very cool...

Free For All Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Nice pic- check out that right hand voicing; what is that, a triad? Damn! And the beverage remains undisturbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeCity Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Blurry graphics; like Frank's vision through fifth of Jack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hi Chaney- that's a nice touch to do that.... I'm too computer illiterate to download that and on top of that I have a dial up so my downloads are severely limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank m Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Do any of you Sinatra fans know of a rehearsal recording of Frank singing "East of the Sun". It is definitely not related to the Dorsey version. After they had gotten the rehearsal down to where they wanted it, Frank insisted on one more chorus and he was really wailing on it. I've never been able to locate it, but it was Frank at his finest. Anyone any ideas?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) frank m: Frank recorded East of the Sun for his third Reprise album, I Remember Tommy. I have a two disk set of session material on this one. I've uploaded the session for East of the Sun if you'd like to have a listen: HERE Unfortunately, at eight minutes, it's incomplete. You'll get an idea though of how Frank was at least attempting to push the vocal. If only his voice hadn't given out. Smile-inducing stuff. ON THE EDIT: Just noticed that I had this one marked restricted. It's now open to all. Edited October 31, 2005 by Chaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couw Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 What do you need to play a .RAR file and how do you use it? ← you need to unpack it using (Win)Rar: http://www.rarlab.com/ the trial version will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Well, that was easy! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chaney Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) I made the apparent mistake of sharing the link to this Sinatra material with a Yahoo Sinatra Group.

JSngry Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Any info on who the bassist was on these sessions? Joe Comfort still, or was Mandel using other people? Whoever it was has got his foot stuck all the way up everybody's asses. GOOD GOD does this mutthafookah swing! Me and a buddy was listening to this stuff yesterday on a road trip to Houston, and we both agreed that we liked the sessions better than the album. The album mix hides the band too much, what with all the reverb and shit, and the band is just SPLENDID. If "Conrad" is indeed Conrad Gozzo, well, all I can do is agree with my buddy - as far as "personality" goes, there's other lead players I prefer. But as far as absolute consistency and perfection, to listen to this muffaphoka nail this shit exactly the same way every g.damn take is to reach the conclusion that Conrad Gozzo was no mere mortal, and may in fact have been sent here from another planet. My buddy told me that he had heard that Gozzo went 10, yes, T-E-N years w/o missing a single note on a studio session. Not one. Pools were allegedly formed as to what date it would be when he finally missed one. The guy was a freak! Of course, after listening to this material just once, for educational purposes, we did our civic duty and destroyed the music. We also took medicine that will erase all memories of same from our brains within 72 hours. So no need for the Rhinottornies to get all hissified or anything.
