Dorian Mode’s Screen Sinatra explores Old Blue Eyes in film. A natural entertainer, ‘Old Brown Eyes’ (Dorian Mode) and his swinging band will take you through Frank Sinatra in movies, with lots of laughs along the way. The show is highly entertaining, peppered with fascinating anecdotes about Frank’s life and unique vocal approach.

While Frank Sinatra was not a jazz singer as such, every jazz singer acknowledges Sinatra. Indeed Miles Davis said he learned to phrase by listening to Sinatra. And because Sinatra phrased like a horn player, he set a standard for a swinging approach to popular singing, while simultaneously exploring the depths of a song like a consummate actor. This is where he differed from his idol, Crosby. Frank had musicality and depth. And it’s in his movies we see Sinatra’s two unique gifts coalesce.
