Frank Sinatra & Quincy Jones – L.A. Is My Lady – CD

Reissue, Anniversary Edition, Deluxe Edition

Frank Sinatra reunited for this album, his last studio effort, with producer Quincy Jones, with whom he’d last worked 20 years earlier for the classic album It Might as Well Be Swing with Count Basie. L.A. Is My Lady was a high-energy event, hitting the Billboard Top 200 and top 10 on the Jazz chart. It featured the title song, which got into MTV rotation, and Sinatra’s first recording of “Mack the Knife.” Musical guests include George Benson, Lionel Hampton and Bob James. Legendary songwriter Sammy Cahn wrote new lyrics for “Teach Me Tonight” and “Until the Real Thing Comes Along.” For this 40th anniversary release, Sinatra engineer Larry Walsh created new mixes for the original album, which will be newly available on vinyl, while the CD release will appear as Deluxe Editions with six bonus tracks (three of them previously unreleased).
