Performance

A Tribute to Frank Sinatra

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the Blue Note Jazz Club, *A Tribute to Frank Sinatra* frames a familiar New York songbook through the sound of a working big band. Michael Dutra leads a nine-piece ensemble, with appearances billed for the Pc. Big Band Ensemble, in a jazz set built from Sinatra-associated standards rather than biography. The program sits comfortably in the city’s long history of nightclub swing and brunch-time listening. One clear point: the arrangements matter as much as the melodies, shifting these well-known tunes from nostalgia into craft.
