Album Notes & Community Reviews
In a rare and highly ambitious departure from vocal performance, the legendary crooner assumes the role of symphonic conductor for this sweeping, completely instrumental concept album. Commissioning original compositions from esteemed arrangers like Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins, each track is designed to evoke the specific mood of a distinct color based on poems by Norman Sickel. The remarkably lush, high-fidelity project underscores his immense, diverse musicality beyond traditional pop singing.
