From the back cover: Prior to the recording of this album, arranger and conductor Quincy Jones set up a temporary private studio within the Sinatra offices at Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank, California. At the studio Jones wrote his arrangements; at the same time, Sinatra acted in and, for the first time, directed his new film, "None But The Brave." To prepare for the recording sessions, Jones (whom Sinatra nicknamed "Q") often worked lat into the night framing his arrangements, occasionally sleeping at the Sinatra offices.
