Atomic Age Cocktail Party explores the music of Reprise Records
This week on “Atomic Age Cocktail Party,” the focus is on Reprise Records, the label that Frank Sinatra founded in 1960. He wanted to create a space where artists had more creative control, and that’s exactly what he did. We'll look at the early years of the label which showcased some of the biggest stars of the hi-fi era. Listeners will hear from (of course) Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, members of the Reprise Musical Repertory Theatre, and many more.Latest News
