The Shows
Frank has a show for everything, from intimate jazz clubs to full theatre productions, international cruise stages and private appearances, with each Frank’s Place show crafted to bring the authentic Sinatra experience to life.
Frank’s Place Jazz Orchestra
The band featured in all our shows. From Frank and a pianist, through a six-piece up to a 26-piece with strings, we recreate the Sinatra sound as he sounded at the absolute peak of his career. World-class musicians, authentic arrangements, and Frank Cognoscenti at the centre of it all.
The Sinatra Story and A Life in Concert shows are designed for small theatres and are enhanced with the Frank’s Place Orchestral track sync’d to the live band, enabling total recreation of the original recording or concert with a smaller footprint.
For cruises, Frank travels with scalable charts for any house band, performing the Great American Songbook with brass, strings, vibraphone, and a complete rhythm section. Available for theatres, concert halls, festivals, and international cruise stages worldwide.
Also available for cruise lines, international venues, and corporate events. Frank has performed from Palm Springs to Singapore, New York to Hoboken, and is available for fly-out bookings worldwide.
Basie & Sinatra at the Sands
Step back to January 1966, when Frank Sinatra and Count Basie recorded one of the most celebrated live albums in history at the Sands Hotel, Las Vegas. This show recreates that legendary night with big band swing, Basie’s unmistakable arrangements, and Sinatra at his peak.
The Bossa Sessions
A faithful recreation of Sinatra’s pairing with Antonio Carlos Jobim. Specially commissioned arrangements for string quartet, flute, alto flute, trombone and rhythm section. Capturing the genius of Jobim’s writing with the beautiful arrangements of Claus Ogerman and Eumir Deodato.
Sinatra: A Life in Concert
A complete journey through Sinatra’s career, from the bobby-soxer years with Tommy Dorsey through to his Capitol Records renaissance and beyond. Every era, every style, every decade of the voice that defined American popular music.
The ’62 Sextet
In 1962 Frank Sinatra toured Europe with the Bill Miller Sextet. Frank Cognoscenti and the Frank’s Place ’62 Sextet faithfully recreate this classic show, featuring vibraphone, rhythm section and alto sax. Widely regarded as the pinnacle of Sinatra’s career. Performed at the Royal Festival Hall and for 11 years at Ronnie Scott’s.
Sinatra Songbook
The essential Sinatra. Every song you know, every lyric you love. From ‘New York, New York’ to ‘My Way’, ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ to ‘Come Fly With Me’. This is the show for audiences who want the hits performed with authenticity, warmth and heart.
That’s Life: The Sinatra Story
An exciting full theatre show exploring the life and music of Frank Sinatra. A live band combines with newly recorded orchestral and Big Band music, full narration and audio-visual presentation for a truly authentic and immersive Sinatra experience.
So Sinatra Supper Clubs
Every now and then we host dinner events. Come and have dinner with Frank. The So Sinatra Supper Club brings the magic of Sinatra to restaurant and lounge settings, where Frank Cognoscenti performs a stage and table-to-table show, turning your evening out into something truly unforgettable.

About Frank Cognoscenti
An unrivalled attention to detail
Frank Cognoscenti (pronounced Conyo-Shente) is the ultimate 1950s and 1960s American club-style entertainer specialising in the Sinatra experience for stage or lounge. Frank is based in Surrey, England, and has performed his shows around the world, from Palm Springs to New York, Singapore and the famous Ronnie Scott’s and many other jazz clubs.
Already experienced in the music and recording business, Frank was inspired to perform the Sinatra repertoire after attending a high-end Sinatra show where the music and arrangements were as near to the original as could be, but the singer’s phrasing and speech around songs was purposely his own. Frank felt that if it says Sinatra on the door, Sinatra it should be.
The mission since 2002 has been to perform the Sinatra repertoire accurately whilst seamlessly extending Frank’s own New York ‘Angel with a dirty face’ club character into the chat and interaction, to create an immersive retro experience that is musically accurate, engaging and entertaining for the most avid Sinatra fan and casual listener alike. Over the years Frank has created many unique shows from the repertoire, albums and concerts.
Now in 2026, after writing, producing and performing his own full-scale theatre show about Sinatra’s life, ‘That’s Life: The Sinatra Story’, Frank has possibly the most complete collection of shows showcasing Sinatra’s long and varied career. The music arrangements have been newly transcribed to faithfully recreate an authentic sound, from the complete big band instruments to the string section, vibraphone, celeste and even clavichord. Every detail matters.
- Over two decades performing the Sinatra repertoire professionally
- 11 years performing at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, London
- Performed at the Royal Festival Hall, The Ritz London, and internationally
- Performed at Sinatra’s birthplace of Hoboken, New Jersey
