Reprise will release 22-track standard and two-CD deluxe editions of Seduction: Sinatra Sings Of Love on Jan. 27, 2009. Both sets include an alternate version of “My Funny Valentine,” as well as newly remastered tracks taken from throughout
Sinatra’s career.
Seduction contains several notable collaborations, including Sinatra with
Count Basie and His Orchestra performing Quincy Jones’ arrangement for
“More,” the theme from the 1962 Italian movie Mondo Cane. Brazilian guitarist and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim appears on “I Concentrate On You” and “This Happy Madness (Estrada Branca).”
Much of the collection spotlights Sinatra’s recordings with arranger Nelson
Riddle, with whom the singer recorded numerous albums. This collection includes nine collaborations with Riddle including “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Witchcraft,” and “It Had To Be You.”
