On Nice 'n' Easy - Celebrating Sinatra, Riddle's music so suits the Cincinnati Pops Big Band Orchestra that it almost seems as if he'd been writing for them all along. Guided by conductor Erich Kunzel, they interpret these familiar pieces as instrumental works with great panache and detail. This is also a tribute to Riddle's work with Frank Sinatra and features many of the tunes that helped make them one of the most celebrated collaborations in music history.
This release highlights all the important phases of Nelson Riddle's career including Route 66, Night and Day, Zing Went the Strings (Of My Heart), Let Yourself Go!, Let's Face the Music and Dance, You and the Night and the Music, Get Happy, and other signature pieces. Nice 'n' Easy - Celebrating Sinatra also features classic songs associated with Frank Sinatra, particularly What's New, The Lady Is a Tramp, Nice 'N' Easy, I Get Along Without You Very Well, and September in the Rain.
