Sinatra is still widely listened to and revered today but he’s also still kind of underrated? He was as much of a game changer and taste maker as the Beatles, Dylan and Davis but is seldom listed as one probably because he wasn’t a writer. But when you listen to projects like this, it’s clear that he knew exactly what he wanted in his music and how to challenge his expectations. Works perfectly with Jobim. A-

Sinatra and Samba is not a well matched pair in my ears, so I didn't like this so much. Glad it was short at least. 2/5
I was dreading this but it was better than expected. I think the samba saves it for me. It still is by no means something I'm choosing to listen to, but it's a lot better than it could have been. 2.5/5
