One of my five favorite Sinatra albums. He never sang softer before or since, and the juxtaposition of The Voice with Jobim's murmurs on many tracks is nicely humble and certainly even a little offbeat. (Imagine Frank with Monk accompaniment, including Monk's humming.
"Dindi" has a haiki-like quality in this version; this "Change Partners" is so assured, yet perhaps ever so slightly worried that the gambit won't work.
