L.A. Is My Lady (Reis)

CD Details

Frank Sinatra recorded L.A. Is My Lady in 1984 with Quincy Jones and his Orchestra, delivering interpretations of jazz standards alongside the album’s title track. The project brought together Sinatra’s distinctive vocal phrasing with lush big band arrangements, featuring songs like “How Do You Keep the Music Playing,” “Mack the Knife,” and “Stormy Weather.” While Sinatra’s voice carried the weight of age, his command of phrasing remained evident throughout the collection.

Released on Warner Bros., this CD contains nine tracks including “The Best of Everything,” “Teach Me Tonight,” “It’s All Right with Me,” “Until the Real Thing Comes Along,” and “If I Should Lose You.” The orchestral arrangements showcase the polished production style of the era, with contributions from notable musicians. You can own this piece of Sinatra’s later catalog at a fraction of what a new copy would cost.
