Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

2

Like a limp dick dipped in cold custard.

2

I think I most like the one where he’s actively trying to bang a woman that's dancing with a man she seems to be both in love with and married to.

2

I bet Sinatra was a total prick asshole and a shitty driver, but I love those sweet pipes of his... mmmm.... Sinatra is no replacement for Astrud Gilberto, however. Sinatra is a classic in himself and I wish he wouldn't have tried rewriting some of these Bossa Nova classics. Stay in your own damn lane, Frank! This is borderline offensive, is what it is.

3

Frankie is always pleasant, but he just doesn't seem as comfortable trying to adapt his style to bossa nova and it comes off as a little forced/trend-hoppy. He's smooth as butter, but butter doesn't go on everything.

"When 4chan cries, nae nae to me." - Frank Sinatra Great album, great vibe. Sinatra is in my blood, so of course I love this. None of his most classic hits, but clearly going for a specific atmosphere in this pairing with Jobim. I can't say I pulled out a ton of notable tracks, but the whole thing is great. I'd definitely listen to this again. Favorite tracks: The Girl from Ipanema (Amy Winehouse did it better), I Concentrate On You, Meditation. Album art: Love the smoky studio picture. I also love the framing around the picture. It's a really regal album cover, and I also love the use of full names. Great job, fellas. 4/5

4

Is Frank Sinatra cool by modern standards. Like, he is, but what I mean is like, is he problematic. Like by today’s standards should he be canceled? Anyway great album.

3

I know he's supposed to be the King of Croon and the Sultan of Smooth but, to me, Sinatra always comes across as a sleazy egomaniac. That's what's on display here. The album gets three stars from me not because of Sinatra but in spite of him. Jobin is an amazing musician forced to play second fiddle to Sinatra's ego and it's a shame. I could have used ten times more Jobin and way less of ol' Frankie Blue Eyes.

Waiting room music for the insufferable.

Frank, an absolute classic. My housemates and I listen to this stuff during dinner and it's amazing. The soft intent of these songs make our dining just a little special even when it's just the 5 of us.

5

This was a nice retro way to while away the morning. Frank's voice is always smooth and easy.

4

I'm sure Sinatra was just an insufferable asshole in real life, but you can't argue with the hits.

Quel bonheur... Après une semaine difficile, marquée par une accumulation d'albums notés d'une simple paire d'étoiles, celle-ci s'annonce radieuse. Elle commence en ce lundi avec l'album Frankie Bossa Nova, qui, soit dit en passant, est une réussite. J'ai particulièrement aimé le morceau Ai Se Eu Te Pego même si ma préférée reste évidemment le tube Coup de Boule dans lequel Sinatra démarre en trombe avec son célèbre gimmick "attention c'est la danse du coup de boule !" Le crooner à la voix de velours est décidément à l'aise dans tous les styles.

5

I love this album, this is not my first time hearing it, so it's great to revisit it. Frank Sinatra's voice fits bossa nova so perfectly, so I am so grateful that this album even exists. Right from the start we get a classic. This isn't as good as the Gilberto version, but the guitar and horn section of this song give it a much grander feeling. Every song is so smooth, I got a nostalgic and emotional response from so many of these tracks, there's just something about them that hits me. I love the reworks of the American songs into bossa nova style, it works so well that I have a hard time imagining them as anything else. The synergy that Sinatra and Jobim have on these songs is astounding. I can just imagine them in the studio, cigarette smoke in the air, joking around in a manner that reflects the light and relaxed nature of the music. This is probably the smoothest and softest that I, and many others, have heard Sinatra, especially at the time in his career that this was released, I think it was a brave venture for him. I belive this album was very important for getting bossa nova into the American mainstream. I just want to reiterate that I love this album, and I could listen to it over and over again. Favorite Track: Baubles Bangles and Beads

5

The best album ever. Tanvi also said the same.

5

As expected from both artists, it's a great chill album.

5

If it was possible to make nails on a chalk board sound good, he would have been the one to be able to do it

5

Maybe Frank’s last truly great album?

5

Love me some franky

5

Just beautiful, what else can I say. We grew up with Frankie in the house and it was great listening to a whole album by him and this album is definitely one of his best ones. What can beat The Girl From Ipanema, absolutely nothing? Well maybe Girl from the North Country but, a paisan like Frank Sinatra blows Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan outta da water. "Fughetta Bout it!" -Joseph Klein, Yes this is an original quote by me.

5

How pleasant and warm

5

Obra maestra.

5

Absolutely fantastic!

5

Perfeito. Finalmente algo bom após dias e dias de música ruim

5

It's like it knew I was joining on Friday

Beautiful, the type of album that can transport you to another time and place, makes me forget some of the bad.

5

5

Rating: 10/10

November 1, 2021 Maybe I'm just in the right mood for this, but I guess I like Frank Sinatra. And/or bossa nova? Particular standouts were "How Insensitive" and "I Concentrate On You"

5

Two masters doing what they do best.

Love bossa nova and Sinatra fits into this very well.

5

So smooth. Transports you to a different, more romantic place.

5

soooo beautiful

5

Crooning is always great

5

Esse álbum é extraordinário. Você simplesmente se sente em uma época da qual não viveu. Ideal para imaginar que é rico, tomar uma taça de vinho e fumar vários cigarros depois de um dia fodido de trabalho!

5

Sublime.

5

was very nice!

5

Cigarette soaked voice over some Bosa Nova I'm all about it.

I didn't realize how sultry he was. Very sexy. Highlights: Dindi Change Partners Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars really, most of them. Swoon.

5

Soothing and love guitar

Previously listened to a lot of these songs sung by Blossom Dearie. Much stronger bossa nova feel compared with her. Thoroughly enjoyable and very slick.

5

Discazo

5

5

5, oh frankie

Arguably my favorite discovery upon starting this incredible journey of music!!! This record is such a beautiful gem, an outstanding collection of beautiful ballads. Opener The Girl From Ipanema opens on a very high note, and rarely does the quality ever drop. I feel this will become a record I will really grow to cherish over time Favorite lyrics: - But I watch her so sadly. How can I tell her I love her. Yes, I would give my heart gladly. But each day, when she walks to the sea. She looks straight ahead, not at me. - If I only had words, I would say all the beautiful. Things that I see when you're with me. - This is where I want to be. Here with you so close to me. Until the final flicker of life's ember. I, who was lost and lonely. Believing life was only. A bitter tragic joke, have found with you. The meaning of existence, my love. - I will wait for you. Till the sun falls from out of the sky. For what else can I do? I will wait for you. Meditating how sweet life will be. When you come back to me. Favorite tracks: - The Girl From Ipanema - Change Partners - Quiet Night Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado) - How Insensitive - Baubles, Bangles And Beads 9 out of 10

5

So sweet and relaxing. Love in the streets and in the air. Sensuality with a pure and very intelligent playing.

5

Bossa nova classics with Frank and Jobim. Trombone solos!

5

Loved it..

5

HOLY SHIT YES YES YES. I wrote a short story on Bossa Nova last year and throughout the whole time was just listening to Jobim and Gilberto, mwah. Love Sinatra so this will be amazing. IT OPENS WITH GAROTTA DE IPANEMA OFC!!!

5

9/10 Frankie delivers!

Just a good, consistent album. Sinatra’s voice never disappoints. 8.1/10

4

One of my favourite Sinatra albums.

4

I love Frank. I love Jobim. I love Bossa Nova. I love 60s orchestral arrangements. Have nostalgic attachment to this one.

4

Frank Sinatra always nice to listen to.

4

Dit is zo rustgevend. Puur genieten van de stem en de warme klanken. Frank is een legend

4

Such a new and exciting sound from Rio de Janeiro.

4

sweet, easy, elegant, charming and the first track is all of that ^ x10 ❤️‍🔥

4

The vocals are so easy to listen to

4

I like it. Interesting that this was the start of bossa nova. Sometime we just kind of take for granted as existing music.

4

super smooth, and what a picture of its time. i don't love it, but it's a great view into what things must've been like for the squares in 1967.

4

No notes needed

4

Perfect for a romantic dinner!

4

Tres bon album. Frank sinatr 3st toujorus egal a lui meme mais j’aime beaucoup les arrangements de guitare dans celui-ci. 4

4

This is lovemaking music, pure and simple. Frank and Antonio go well together. I think I prefer Stan Getz and his version of The Girl From Ipanema a bit more. But this is still great.

4

A true artisan, Frank serves up the goods as always

4

I’ve said it before, but…FINALLY. Frank Sinatra was a huge figure for me growing up. He was the Christmas CD we listed to each year. His greatest hits album was something I have listened to falling asleep from back when I stayed in Plano with my grandparents to a few days ago. My grandpa loved Frank and I do too. I’d been waiting to get an album of his but didn’t expect it to be this one. Pretty wild to name the title of your album the full names of both the performers, it’s a mouthful. I do love the album cover of Frank puffing and recording...that 1967 haze. It was a different time. I honestly don’t know much about Frank as a person but I’ve heard some things so when I say I love him, I mean as a musician. Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars was my favorite from this album but this is a perfect evening listening to album or something when going to sleep or to calm down. I’m always happy to listen to my favorite crooner.

4

I enjoyed it a lot, very mellow and a little wistful overall. Will be returning to it.

4

Always love a little Frank. This one was an album I had never heard. It was a nice alternative from his typical big band sound, and had a more stripped down “island” sound. My main issue was that a lot of the songs sound the same. Other than that, a fantastic album from the Chairman himself.

4

A delightful blend of Sinatra’s dulcet tones and Jobim’s musicality gives a different flavour to these songs, a number of which I knew from Astrid Gilberto renditions. Very pleasant indeed
