"Trilogy" was, in 1979, the most ambitious project of the career of Frank Sinatra. This triple album recorded with three different producers (Billy May, Don Costa and Gordon Jenkins) crown 40 years of singing at the highest level for the crooner Hoboken. This trilogy, contracted in 2 CDs in the reissue, is a wonder to listen again, a must figure that would almost best of! THE PAST: Sinatra takes 10 of his past successes, sumptuously re-orchestrated by Billy May. Among the pearls include "The Song Is You" (new version of overflowing fishing which opens the album), "I have the craziest dream," "They All Laughed" and "Let's face the music and dance." Halfway between jazz and swing, Frank feasts, and we also treat! THE PRESENT: 10 new songs, including "Theme from New York New York" that needs no introduction. Although this second part includes a swim, you can miss out on the interpretation of "Something" (Beatles song written by George Harrison), "Love me tender" (the hit Elvis Presley) and on too Unsung "You and me" and "MacArthur Park." THE FUTURE: It is sometimes that this disc is a wound, it would ruin even the entire album. While the background as the form are surprising, this contrasts with what had previously recorded Sinatra. Nevertheless, this experiment eyeing the side of opera and classical music also has some real good moments to savor; the icing on the cake so to speak. So I can not strongly advise this disc to fans of Sinatra and even those who want to discover the work of "Ol 'Blue Eyes."
