Sinatra Jobim Sessions

This 1979 double album compiled recordings from Frank Sinatra’s work with Tom Jobim on Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim (1967) and Sinatra & Company (1971).
Purists note: The two tracks Drinking Again and Manhã De Carnaval featured here had no input from Jobim whatsoever.
I heard a story that on the 1967 album Frank was billed as Francis Albert Sinatra because the name of Antonio Carlos Jobim would look much bigger on the sleeve than just plain Frank Sinatra. Good job Tom didn’t use his whole name!
