Fly Me to Sinatra
Fly Me to Sinatra is Greta Panettieri’s personal project dedicated to Frank Sinatra, born from an in-depth study of his art, vocal approach and unique way of interpreting songs.
Frank Sinatra never passively followed musical fashions or genres: he was an innovator, able to follow his own instinct in music, cinema and artistic challenges. In this project he becomes an inspiration and a model for a personal reinterpretation, rather than an exercise in imitation.
Greta studied Sinatra in depth while writing her book La voce nel Pop e nel Jazz — Guida discografica a 100 canzoni imperdibili. Listening closely to his interpretations led her to explore some of his vocal techniques and, above all, his approach to interpretation.
The repertoire includes celebrated songs such as Strangers in the Night, Fly Me to the Moon and My Way, alongside more intimate and less obvious pieces such as In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning, One for My Baby and The Song of the Sabiá by Tom Jobim and Chico Buarque.
