Frank Sinatra - Frank Sinatra at the Hollywood Bowl 1943-1948 (CD)

In 1943, the world-renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic welcomed the first pop singer in it's history - teen idol Frank Sinatra - to appear at the Hollywood Bowl. This auspicious moment was a turning point for the orchestra, singer and venue, and began a rich series of collaborations between the crooner and the Bowl: one that would last into the final phases of his storied career in the 1990s. For the first time, these historic performances - documenting Sinatra's three major Hollywood Bowl appearances in the 1940s - have been remastered from the primary recording sources to put you front-and-center for a rare, fascinating glimpse into his earliest success as a legitimate concert artist. Meticulously restored and remastered, this important collection represents a defining moment in 20th century American popular music.
