Where Are You?
Sinatra on Capitol

capitol CDP 7 91209 2

The tracks were laid down on April 10, 29 and May 1, 1957 in Studio A at the Capitol Records Tower in Hollywood. Producer Voyle Gilmore assigned Gordon Jenkins to the project. Gordon had recently signed on with Capitol from Decca Records.

In his near decade with Capitol Records, Frank Sinatra recorded three albums with arranger-conductor Gordon Jenkins. Product of three recording sessions held during April and May, 1957, Where Are You? was the first of these and also the first complete studio-based stereo recording by Sinatra. This album was also the first in a series of "saloon song" albums.

Jenkins' arrangements featured a very large string section in a more "classical" style. Jenkins was widely recognized by his peers as perhaps the finest writer for strings in all of popular music...as you listen you'll understand why.
