Twelfth of the Twelfth (1996)

About this title: Whether or not you regard Frank Sinatra as a jazz singer, he is clearly respected by jazz musicians for his ability to interpret the cream of American songwriters' work. David Newton's solo piano salute surveys over a quarter century of Sinatra favorites, including a bluesy "Witchcraft," a wild calypso-flavored "The Lady Is a Tramp" and a very lyrical "This Is All I Ask." The title track is an intriguing improvisation which clearly shows that the singer's records have had an impact on the young pianist. Ken Dryden, All Music Guide
