Orchestrations adapted from original Nelson Riddle arrangements of Frank Sinatra songs.
Cincinnati Pops "Big Band" Orchestra, Erich Kunzel, cond.
TELARC SACD 60532  TT:  55:53
(5.1 channel)

Here's a very pleasant collection of 18 songs orchestrated from original Nelson Riddle Frank Sinatra arrangements with the vocal line played on a variety of  brass instruments. Lots of favorites including Night and Day, September in the Rain, The Lady Is a Tramp and I'll Get By.  Kunzel and his forces are at their best, Telarc's sound close-up, clear,  perhaps a bit bass-heavy. 

"TRIANGULO"
Ten tunes presented in cabaret style played by pianist Michel Camilo with Anthony Jackson, bass and Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, drums.
TELARC SACD 63549 TT:  54:33
(5.1 channel)
A very relaxing collection of ten tunes played on piano, bass and drums, including Piece of Cake, La Comparsa, Afterthought and Just Like You.  Sound is spread among all speakers in a most natural way.  It's unfortunate the playing time is so limited,  but this recording well serves its purpose.
