December opens on Istanbul's jazz calendar with a tribute project. The Gabbro Jazz Covers series dedicates Sunday evening, 6 December, at 9 PM to Frank Sinatra, on the stage of Gabbro Resto-Bar inside Swissotel The Bosphorus. The repertoire of one of the best-known voices of the American songbook is performed in a cover format by a live jazz line-up; the aim is not an impersonation, but to replay those songs with today's balance of instruments and vocals. Expect an acoustic approach where vocals and piano take the lead and strings and winds stay in the background. The event is planned with dinner: a table at Gabbro Resto-Bar must be reserved (0543 326 81 11), tickets start from 2,000 TL, and there are no refunds, cancellations or exchanges. The age limit is 18. Hearing both Sinatra's swinging numbers and his ballads in one night makes for a calm, classic start to the week on the Bosphorus shore.
