Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
For the second of his 1960s television specials, Frank Sinatra organized the show around the loose theme of "rhythm," and chose for his exploration two artists of impeccable credentials: the scat stylings and jazz-influenced delivery of Ella Fitzgerald and the quiet Latin groove of Brazilian bossa nova legend Antonio Carlos Jobim. The program combines beautiful ballads ("Ol' Man River," "Put Your Dreams Away") with brassy up-tempo tunes ("Day In, Day Out," "Get Me to the Church on Time"), though one medley includes some forgivable but hardly memorable attempts at contemporary pop, mixing snatches of "How High the Moon" with "Up, Up and Away," "Don't Cry Joe" with "Ode to Billy Joe." The show slows for a relaxed medley with Jobim, who accompanies a lounging, cigarette-smoking Sinatra with guitar and whispering backing vocals while the Voice drops his volume to an intimate conversational tone for "Change Partners," "I Concentrate on You," and Jobim's own "The Girl from Ipanema." Ella duets with Sinatra on two medleys (contributing a fabulous scat rendition of "Stomping at the Savoy"), solos on "Body and Soul," "It's All Right with Me" and "Don't Be That Way," and finally the two burn up the program with one final duet, a high octane, show-stopping performance of "The Lady Is a Tramp," with Nelson Riddle's orchestra driving the brass to keep up. --Sean Axmaker

There are a lot of reviews here already, and they cover a lot of ground, so i'll stick to my highlights. First of all, this video catches Frank in complete control of his whole way of singing. Considering he was in his fifties, his voice is in excellent shape, and his phrasing, and in particular his sense of swing are at a level no other pop singer could touch. The way he sings the opener, "Day In, Day Out" never fails to give me goosebumps - he swings so hard! Some other highlights are "Change Partners" ... Read More

This show with Frank and Ella was simply a perfect and historic one. I cannot emphasize the greatness of this show. Ths music was amazingly well done. Frank Sinatra was in his prime, and he is such a calm, cool, and collected type of performer. He is naturally suave and just too damn cool. His voice is great.
Ella's supreme vocal talent and technique, in my opinion, is what elevated this show to what it is and always will be. Ella performed on this show because Frank made a nasty comment ... Read More

The theme or subject of this show is rythym. Frank wisely chose his guests - the greatest female jazz singer and Jobim with whom he had just recorded a terrific album and he was astute to promote it in this way.
