Save yourself several thousand dollars in airfare by checking out this swinging travelogue. COME FLY WITH ME finds Sinatra working for the first time with Billy May, whose bold, jazzy arrangements were a breath of fresh air following the stale, oafish orchestrations of Alex Stordahl. Together, Sinatra and May produced some of the most upbeat, joyful albums of the singer's career. In the tradition of Sinatra's other great '50s theme albums, COME FLY WITH ME takes you from "The Isle Of Capri" to "Blue Hawaii" with stops all over the world in between, each one equally memorable.
Miles from the despondent loner of WHERE ARE YOU and ONLY THE LONELY, Sinatra's mood here is vibrant and lustrous, as he dances in and around May's arrangements. It doesn't hurt that May has a special gift for ballsy horn arrangements, as evidenced on the title cut and the Sinatra classic "Chicago."
