The Quincy Jones–produced arrangements (they are not always from his pen) for the second Basie-Sinatra studio recording was so well received and felt so good that Sinatra took him and the Basie Band on the road. William B. Williams, the late deejay on the late WNEW, asked Sinatra why he and Jones did certain things differently on that LP.
