A Tribute to Frank Sinatra

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the Blue Note Jazz Club, *A Tribute to Frank Sinatra* frames Sinatra’s songbook as working jazz repertoire rather than nostalgia. Michael Dutra appears with his nine-piece big band ensemble, joined by a larger band roster, to play familiar standards with arranged brass voicings and a steady swing pulse. The setting includes a brunch service, placing the music in the everyday rhythm of New York listening rooms. Sinatra’s long New York association sits in the background, and the show’s restraint is its point: the material holds up when treated plainly and played well.
