We are deeply saddened to have to report on the passing of not one but two great musicians today: Billy May & Milt Bernhard. Both are renowned for their contributions to music in general and very specifically to the career of Frank Sinatra
Billy May is known for, among other things, arranging many of Frank Sinatra's classic Capitol-era tunes. His distinctive arranging style gave many of Sinatra's classic up-tempo tunes their punch. We suggest listening to Come Dance With Me if you need a reminder of just how great this man's works were.
Milt Bernhart will forever be remembered for his classic trombone solo on I've Got You Under My Skin, but of course his contributions to Jazz & American Popular Music were far greater than that.
Both of these gentlemen were simply giants of their era; they will be sorely missed.
