About this album

In The Wee Small Hours is Frank Sinatra’s melancholy masterpiece and one of the great concept albums of the 1950s. Released in 1955, it presents a unified late-night mood of heartbreak, loneliness and reflection, with Sinatra’s phrasing giving each standard the weight of a personal confession. Arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle, the album’s restrained orchestration and intimate pacing helped redefine what a pop vocal record could be, moving beyond singles into a more cohesive artistic statement. Its influence on the development of the concept album has made it one of Sinatra’s most celebrated and enduring works.
