Sinatra And Swingin' Brass is the twenty-sixth studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra. Released in 1962, it is Sinatra's fifth album released by Reprise Records.

This is the first time Sinatra worked with arranger/composer Neal Hefti on an album project, following a single-only session that took place in April 1962. For Sinatra and Swingin' Brass, the singer re-recorded a number of songs he had previously recorded for Capitol. "They Can't Take That Away from Me" and "I Get a Kick Out of You" had been recorded eight years earlier for Songs for Young Lovers, "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me" had been recorded six years prior for Songs for Swingin' Lovers, and "At Long Last Love" had been recorded five years earlier for A Swingin' Affair!

Track listing

[edit]

The last song was a bonus track added to the 1992 CD release and not part of the original album. For the 1998 Entertainer of the Century remastered series, the track listing reverted to the original 1962 release.
