Mrs Tiggi bought me a 21 CD Sinatra set (The Capitol Years) for Xmas, and we've just finished listening to it.
I've always liked the guy, but this box set has been a revelation. I didn't previously realise just how good he was. Time after time we've been blown away by the quality of the music & singing.
Is he still relevant ? Well, that's quite a subjective question, but I'd have to say yes, very much.
What's struck me is the quality of performances & recordings which were usually achieved with 3 or 4 days of recording. Begs the question why do todays' artists spend so long in the studio ??
