Michael Feinstein and The Sinatra Project
If it weren't for those nettlesome public-health laws, the Benny would be filled tonight with cigarette smoke, bourbon fumes, and vintage perfume. Imagine The Stork Club or 21 during the mid-'50s. That's the era Michael Feinstein is celebrating with The Sinatra Project, a Valentine's Day concert of standards from Hoboken's prince of heartache. Because love, really, is inseparable from broken hearts. No matter how good you've got it, you'll eventually lose it—to death, dissatisfaction, or divorce. Take Ava Gardner, for instance. She and Frank dallied for years, cheated on their spouses, then finally married in 1951—soon after he co-wrote and sang “I'm a Fool to Want You,” one of the most raw expressions of longing ever recorded to vinyl. But once together, Ava and Frank fought constantly, and their careers also pulled them apart. They separated by '53, divorced in '57. Accordingly, Feinstein will parse the Sinatra songbook from times both good and bad, singing standards like “I’ve Got a Crush on You,” “I Remember You,” “Fools Rush In,” and “Time After Time,” with introductory remarks before each number. Count your blessings if you've got a date. BRIAN MILLER
