PERFECTLY FRANK is a tribute to Frank Sinatra and his music by one of the few singers generally considered to be his peer. Like Sinatra, Tony Bennett demonstrates a strong jazz influence, both in his choice of material and sidemen, and his feeling for phrasing and the beat. And again, like Sinatra, Bennett avoids cheap sentiment by investing in each song a lived-in feeling. PERFECTLY FRANK has already acquired a reputation as one of Tony Bennett's most fully-realized recitals.
Industry Reviews
...[Bennett's] jazz-tinged pop singing has rarely been more flexible, rhythmically sharp and full of heart than on this tribute to Frank Sinatra...
New York Times (09/11/1992)
...It is moving to hear one of the last great classic-pop singers pay tribute to one of the first... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (10/02/1992)
...Through that tender artifice, you can always hear his might, which often invests throwaway lines with unexpected value...Tony Bennett's gift is still blossoming...
Musician (11/01/1992)
...All that keeps me from joining the chorus for this as Bennett's best is my stubborn preference for his collaborations with Bill Evans, his Rodgers and Hart, and his flawless Irving Berlin... - Rating: A
Village Voice (11/03/1992)
Picked by critic Frank-John Hadley as one of the 10 best albums of 1992.
Jazziz (12/01/1992)
3 Stars - Good - ...While one can argue into the wee hours about who does a better job of 'Night And Day,' that there is an argument at all testifies to the pleasures of this album...
Q (01/01/1993)
...The Ralph Sharon Trio, accompanying Bennett as usual, couldn't be more tasteful or better attuned to the singer's phrasing and buoyant sound...if you love one song, you'll love all 24 of these classics...
JazzTimes (03/01/1993)
...elegantly mature...Bennett seems to live every turn of phrase...it's remarkable the singer completely infuses warmth into an homage to the symbol of cool cynicism...
