Followers of the late great Frank Sinatra will recall that May 14th 1998 marked the passing of one of the greatest musical stars of the twentieth century. A tribute to Frank Sinatra but the worlds no 1 Sinatra is billed at the Palladium on May 30th by Stephen Triffitt, who will pay tribute to his hero with a special London performance of “Sinatra’s Live At the Sands Concert” later this month. This highly successful solo show plays the London Palladium on May 30th .
“Sinatra’s Live At the Sands Concert” is powered by a full band emulating the famous Count Basie Orchestra under the then musical direction of a young Quincy Jones. The pairing of Basie and Sinatra was magical, causing Sinatra to say it was “probably the most exciting engagement I’ve ever done in my life”. It was a legendary show captured on the 1966 album of the same name.
Stephen Triffitt’s take on that memorable night is a delight. The show highlights all the different guises Frank had at his disposal and features some of his best loved hits such as Under My Skin, Come Fly With Me and My Kind Of Town, some of his most famous saloon ballads and some of his most exciting if lesser known songs like Get me To The Church On Time.
“Sinatra’s Live At The Sands Concert” plays throughout the UK until May, takes a short break then resumes again in the Autumn. Tickets are on sale now priced £17-£27. Shows start at 7.30pm and 8pm depending on venue.
The London date marks the climax to the current leg of the tour.
