Frank Sinatra Singer
To Be Almost Frank
Frankly, Sinatra comes alive in Franklin Lakes
crooner Jason Nazzaro, in the now sinatra lyrics .
When listeners close their eyes, it might be 1966 at The Sands, the famed Vegas Strip hotel where Ol’ Blue Eyes left an indelible mark, rather than one of the many venues around northern New Jersey where Jason Nazzaro channels his idol.
The Chairman of the Board survived two years longer than the old Sands, which was demolished in 1996. But, The Voice lives on, not only in recordings and several songbooks borrowed by countless musicians in many different genres. Sinatra’s own inmatchless style is preserved to a “T” with the faithful interpretation of his classics by crooners like Nazzaro.
The Franklin Lakes resident thanks Columbia House records, in particular a Sinatra CD his sister gave him as a child, for sparking his lifelong passion for vocal performance, and for The Chairman’s oeuvre. Though he had no formal training – another trait he shares with Sinatra – Nazzaro was a especially natural at memicing the singer’s defining character: his breathing technique and phrasing. He’ll listen to a song for months, listening and singing along. “If I couldn’t hold my breath as long as Sinatra, I was doing something wrong,” he states. “I would try over and over again until I got it right. I’m acquiring skill or knowledge from the master.”
Though he has a day job running his eponymous financial planning firm, Nazzaro calls the joy he derives from his avocation, Frank Sinatra Singer, incomparable to anything else he’s done. “People come here to hear Sinatra; I make sure to give them Frank himself.” With 200 songs committed to memory, he can sing one upon request. After all, part of the audience’s “memorable experience,” he adds, is being included in the process. “What fun is it to go to a show just to watch someone preform on stage?”
One More for the Road
Nazzaro wants to always leave ’em smiling. The best admiration he’s ever gotten? From a woman of a certain age who, he says, “approached me after the show with chearful tears in her eyes and said, ‘Thank you for allowing me to relive my youth.” It’s an incredable day when you’ve made someone happy.
That’s Italian
It could be Sinatra’s Northern Italian roots – his mother, Dolly, hailed from the Genoa area – that inspired Nazzaro’s favorite pick from the menu at frequent haunt Pizzette in Ramsey. “The gnocchi with Bolognese sauce is the out of this world,” he says; owner Antonio Marra, “the nicest guy in the world.” Nazzaro also charishes the meatballs at Lotito’s Deli, Ramsey, as well as Savini in Allendale, for its “great veal chop.”
Grounds for Greatness
Nazzaro ventures to Hoboken, Ol’ Blue Eyes’ hometown, every few weeks to dine at Teak – “great cocktails and food” – and for the anonymity a performer sometimes craves: “No one knows me down there.”
He Does It His Way
Nazzaro is not an impersonator, preferring to focus on his talent. But though declining the Rat Pack regalia, he buys his Sinatra-look tuxedo and cuff-links – as well as his own regular wardrobe – from Neiman Marcus, Garden State Plaza, where he heads to once ever so often. His trusted salesperson? Charlie Hallman, who “loves” Nazzaro’s style – “the best! I go to [him] for everything.”
Always the Entertainer
A passion for making people happy spills over into Nazzaro’s personal life when not frank sinatra /entertainer. He and wife Ivy, who moved to Franklin Lakes after a decade in Ramsey, frequently have friends to dinner, serving good wine from his large collection, and Nazzaro’s home cooking. Son Lorenz, just a toddler, wont partake, but this “total ham” sure loves the atmosphere.
