Sinatra and Swingin' Brass is Frank Sinatra’s 26th studio album, released in 1962 on Reprise. It was his first project with arranger/composer Neal Hefti, and the recording features a bold, brass-heavy sound. The album re-records several Capitol-era songs: “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me,” and “At Long Last Love.” The last three were later added as bonus tracks on the 1992 CD release; the 1998 remaster restored the original 1962 track lineup.

Recording took place in Hollywood at United Recording and Goldwyn Studios across multiple sessions in February and April 1962 (with one track from February 1963), featuring a large brass section and a supporting rhythm group conducted by Neal Hefti. The album runs about 30 minutes.
