The Very Best

Hal Leonard did the job right when they assembled this book, The Very Best of Frank Sinatra. The collection contains forty of Frank's standards in the keys in which he performed them scored for piano and vocal. Scoring these songs in the keys in which Frank performed them is particularly helpful when using his recordings as a source. The piano accompaniment is also written in such a way as to make arranging easy. Both hands feature characteristics of the original arrangements which help in writing the bass line or in scoring brass and sax riffs. Great book!

Excellent Transcription of 40 Sinatra Songs

The book contains 40 songs as sung on recordings by Sinatra. The piano part is a transcription of the orchestra, which can make a non-jazz player sound pretty good, if they read music well.
