Surprised at the Sands
Frank Sinatra's first live album, his 1966 Sinatra at the Sands, is surprisingly good music to write computer programs by, and it's just plain good music at the Copa Room with Count Basie and his Orchestra, with arrangements and conducting by a young Quincy Jones. There are some good reviews at amazon.
With Sinatra's monologues and asides, the album also manages to capture the classic mid-60's Las Vegas full of boozers and two-bit hustlers busy being entertained by the Rat Pack.
