The cover for Sessions With Sinatra was tastefully designed by David Scott of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Our cover photograph was carefully selected from hundreds of images that exist showing Frank Sinatra in the recording studio. Through the years, few photographers were able to capture the intensity and concentration with which Sinatra worked in the studio as effectively as Hollywood photographer Sid Avery, whose exquisite cover shot is a truly artistic study that, sans words or music, compellingly documents an era frozen in time.

The photo is one of a series of black and white and color frames taken in the Spring of 1957 during the recording session for Where Are You?, Frank's first album with arranger Gordon Jenkins. Many Sinatra buffs will instantly recognize the backgound setting (provided by the distinct orange colored recording scrims used to shield the singer from the band) as being the very same as in the photo used on the cover of Capitol's This Is Sinatra, Volume 2.

Through the years, several of the color photos taken on this momentous occassion in the Capitol tower on Vine Street have been used on foreign and domestic album covers, and to accompany numerous articles about the singer. None, though, portray the complete and utter absorption that Sinatra afforded his craft as vividly as this, our sole choice as the premiere image for Sessions With Sinatra.
