I admit it--I'm a fanatic. I own nearly 100 Sinatra albums, spanning every era of his remarkable career. But out of all of them, "Live in Seattle" remains my absolute favorite. It was recorded at Sinatra's creative peak, during his legendary 1950s tenure at Capitol Records. The singing is splendid, the musicianship crisp and impeccable, and even the on-stage banter magical. It doesn't get any better than this. Unfortunately, the original Jazz Hour issue of this CD--from 1995--is long out of print, but the same recording is currently available from DCC as a gold disc entitled "Sinatra '57: Live in Concert." It's expensive, but well worth the money. This is a must for the serious collector, and a splendid introduction for the neophyte.

The tracks are:

1. Introduction/You Make Me Feel So Young
2. It Happened In Monterey
3. At Long Last Love
4. I Get A Kick Out Of You
5. Just One Of Those Things
6. A Foggy Day
7. The Lady Is A Tramp
8. They Can't Take That Away From Me
9. I Won't Dance
10. Sinatra Dialogue

12. Violets For Your Furs
13. My Funny Valentine
14. Glad To Be Unhappy
15. One For My Baby
16. The Tender Trap
17. Hey Jealous Lover
18. I've Got You Under My Skin
19. Oh! Look At Me Now
