The Sinatra centennial celebration is picking up steam this fall with the release of a new 4-CD box set from Legacy Recordings. On November 20, the label will release Frank Sinatra: A Voice on Air (1935-1955), the first comprehensive, fully authorized collection of Sinatra’s historic radio performances. Over 100 tracks have been meticulously restored from the original recording masters for what’s being billed as “unprecedented high fidelity sound.”

A Voice on Air captures Sinatra during the first twenty years of his legendary career, from his first radio performance in 1935 (singing “S-H-I-N-E” with the Hoboken Four) to his last weekly series in 1955 (The Frank Sinatra Show, which featured Sinatra backed by an in-studio quintet). The set’s producers – Charles L. Granata, Didier C. Deutsch, Michael Feinstein and Andreas Meyer – have drawn upon their own Sinatra broadcast transcription collections as well as the archives of The Library of Congress, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, the Paley Center for Media, the Michael Feinstein Great American Songbook Initiative archive and The University of Colorado’s Glenn Miller Archive to create this set. Three-time Grammy-winning engineer Meyer and producer Granata have restored and remastered every track from the original glass and aluminum radio transcription discs and magnetic tape masters.
