Originally a three-record set, ultimately transferred to two CDs, TRILOGY is an ambitious undertaking of epic proportions. Around 1979, longtime Sinatra producer Sonny Burke started musing on the career of the singer, and the path he had taken. Together, Sinatra and Burke decided to make a grand statement, a record that would encapsulate Sinatra's early recordings as well as representing his current activities and projecting into his musical future. The result was TRILOGY.
The "Past" section enlists the talents of arranger Billy May, for a swinging set of tunes that hails back to Frank's late-'50s work, freshly recorded, and invested with an extra touch of maturity. For "The Present," Sinatra teams with Don Costa to record 10 contemporary tunes, including cuts written by Neil Diamond and Billy Joel. "The Future" ventures into the realms of art song and science fiction, with a futuristic, multi-part concept suite ostensibly about space travel, easily the most unusual piece Sinatra ever recorded.
