Sinatra was just a year into his prolific Capitol period on his ninth studio album, and Nelson Riddle’s arrangements—emotionally direct, never flowery or saccharine—framed his voice with subtlety as he delivered what would become definitive versions of these timeless songs by Alec Wilder, Harold Arlen, Richard Rodgers, Duke Ellington, and more. Four of these—“Glad to Be Unhappy,” “Can’t We Be Friends,” “I’ll Be Around,” and “Dancing on the Ceiling”—featured a smaller ensemble within the band, giving the music room to breathe and highlighting the sublime taste of players like guitarist George Van Eps. Much like Ella Fitzgerald’s interpretive albums for Verve, Sinatra’s Capitol outings did a great deal to codify the Great American Songbook in the mid-20th century—In the Wee Small Hours chief among them.

在那个时代单靠编排与歌手的诠释来给这些标准曲增加容量,太厉害了

之前听完第一首爱上,接下来一口气听完整张,统一的忧郁听得我要撅过去🙃。鉴于今天阳光明媚天气晴朗,站在太阳底下听,就像把另一半的我锁在老式电影里的路灯杆子上,听愁死人的心碎男人绕着我耳朵诉苦,什么绝世刑罚。郁闷的蘑菇长我一头。下次请在雨天清晨打开。。。
