Biography
Frank Sinatra (December 12, 1915–May 14, 1998) and Red Norvo (31 March 1908–6 April 1999) and his quintet toured throughout 1959. Appearances by Frank and Red included gigs on television, shows at the 500 Club in Atlantic City, and a tour of Australia.
Albums by Frank Sinatra and the Red Norvo Quintet include Frank Sinatra with the Red Norvo Quintet: Live In Australia, 1959. The tapes for this live album were recorded during two stops on Sinatra's brief Australian tour of 1959. It is considered one of the wildest performances he has ever recorded, as he exhibits great freedom in his lyric choice, often switching and twisting entire phrases. Just as Sinatra begins the "I've Got You Under My Skin", for example, a woman in the audience screams. He responds between lyrics with "Get your hands off that broad!" Blue Note released the recordings in 1997.
