More about this title

About the Artist: Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) was an American singer and actor whose interpretive approach to the American Songbook shaped popular music for decades. His phrasing, dynamic control, and emotional directness made him one of the most recorded artists in history and a central figure in jazz standards pedagogy.

For music educators, Sinatra's work represents a masterclass in vocal line shaping and rubato. His recordings of Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, and other Great American Songbook composers demonstrate how instrumental musicians can learn from vocal phrasing to inform their own interpretive choices.

Why we love this

This arrangement gives pianists direct access to one of the most elegantly constructed popular songs ever written. The Cole Porter composition sits naturally under the fingers at the easy level, allowing students to focus on the nuance and swing inherent in the melody rather than wrestling with dense voicings.

What to expect

Sophisticated yet approachable, with the kind of effortless elegance that only careful songwriting achieves. The melody unfolds with the intimacy of a late-night conversation, supported by straightforward harmonies that let the beauty of the tune shine without distraction.

Who it's for

Pianists in their first and second years of study who are ready to move beyond method book exercises into real jazz standards repertoire. This is ideal for students preparing recital pieces or exploring American popular music in a classical context.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the melody with the natural speech rhythm of the lyric; treat this as a sung phrase even though you're playing it on keys.
  • Let the harmony breathe between phrases rather than filling every moment with accompaniment figuration.
  • Bring out the chromatic passing tones in the harmony, they're what give this standard its sophisticated flavor.
  • Sit back on the slower tempo rather than rushing; Sinatra's interpretations never hurried.

How to use it

Use this as a bridge between classical and jazz studies, or as part of a recital segment exploring American standards at the early-intermediate level. It pairs naturally with other Porter compositions or works that celebrate accessible popular song.
