How
many more greatest-hits packages can be culled from Frank Sinatra’s catalog?
The latest features crisp masters of nearly two-dozen recordings from the final
segment of his recording career, when he was both mogul and star of Reprise
Records. It’s great stuff to have on disc, assuming you don’t already own every
track. Songs like “Come Fly With Me” and “My Way” are sung with the confident
swagger of the Rat Pack years while Sinatra’s more sensitive side surfaces on
“Moonlight Serenade” and “Somethin’ Stupid.” The bonus track, “Body and Soul,”
with a new orchestral recording wrapped around a 1984 vocal by the Chairman of
the Board, is a negligible selling point.

Besotted by the cinema of silence and early talking pictures, Guy Maddin also finds humor in old movies-or perhaps the humor lies more in the distance between our experience of the world and the gestures of an antique art form. In My Winnipeg, the Canadia
For most of us, bossa nova is the distinctive sound of Brazil. The music was born in the late 1950s, conceived in large part by Antonio Carlos Jobim. From early on, American jazz musicians parked themselves within the idiom, sensing an affinity between th
California's Sound Tribe Sector 9 claims that instrumental music can reflect the tension of the times. In fact, the five-man collective considers its dense Eno-esque swirl of pulsing live and electronic sounds a means of "conversation" between band and li
The local restaurant Barossa, named after the Australian wine region of the same name, quietly closed its doors several months ago. With that closure came the loss of a very distinguished wine list and a menu that borrowed ingredients from all over the wo
