O’s Notes: Remembering Old’ Blue Eyes is centered on the songs sung by Frank Sinatra. But there are no vocals here, just the jazzy chord melodies from guitarist Lou Volpe. He plays in various small configurations from solo guitar to a quartet with polished musicians like pianist Onaje Allen Gumbs, bassist Stanley Banks and drummer Buddy Williams. Volpe’s tone is buttery smooth with exquisite technique. He uses the popular Sinatra tunes as a platform to display his prowess while delighting listeners. There are fourteen tracks and they are all good!
