Hosted by Joe Piscopo, this radio broadcast of Sundays with Sinatra serves as a nostalgic tribute to the legendary singer’s diverse musical catalog, specifically highlighting his 1971 album, Sinatra and Company. Piscopo explores the Bossa Nova movement, detailing how Sinatra pivoted his style to collaborate with Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and create timeless tracks like "The Girl from Ipanema." Beyond the Latin influences, the program features a wide array of "esoteric" selections, including Sinatra’s unique covers of John Denver folk songs and poignant arrangements by Don Costa from the Watertown project. The show functions as an interactive community space, blending listener requests and phone calls with historical anecdotes about musical giants like Nelson Riddle, Stan Getz, and Luciano Pavarotti.
