Question
1957 sinatra album "adventures of the heart" on columbia. want to know the orchestra on this album. thanks

Answer
This was a hard one to answer. And I don't really know if it can be answered to your satisfaction. This album was not really made as an album, but in fact was put together from 78s that Sinatra recorded from 1949 to 1952. So I would suspect that the tracks were not all recorded with the same orchestra.

By 1957, Sinatra had long left Columbia and was recording for Capitol. Columbia was trading on his popularity by releasing the recordings he had made for them before he left.
