note: The project with Lena was tentatively set for February 21 thru 26, 1983.
There would havebeen five sessions. Frank had worked very hard learning the
material and was very excited aboutthe project. Problem was Lena: she kept
canceling. The sessions were again scheduled for thesame approximate dates in
March. Again, Lena canceled. There were attempts to reschedule inJune and
finally in September. I have an interview Sinatra did with W.B. Williams in
December 83,and he was still hoping the project could be done. Jonathan
Schwartz had dinner with Quincy Jones,in Washington, D.C. in 1990. Jones told
him that the project never happened because Lena was intimidated by the idea of
recording with Frank. Jonathan called me afterward, because we had discussed
the different rumors as to why the sessions were never done. We missed out on
somepotentially great Sinatra recordings.Ed
