Many thanks for the link to this splendid jazz concert with Ol' Blue Eyes. I have the original LP. Frank's Australian tour was a triumph. And it showed once again the jazzy quality of his great singing. He was a unique artist, also beyond jazz. The Duke has established him "beyond any categories".

The following year Sinatra recorded a live show with Norvo in Australia. It's on Blue Note (Frank on Blue Note!) and you can hear some of it here: on youtube at watch?v=NxbTwd7D6b0

It's Jimmy "Wyble" on guitar...

Yeah! Under "real" circumstances it would have been Frank Sinatra who would have joined the band :)
