In this episode of Beyond the Pages, we sit down with renowned writer Chuck Darrow and dive into the remarkable story of Brandon Tomasello—a devoted Sinatra performer on a mission to revive long-lost Sinatra-Basie arrangements. From digging through the Library of Congress to performing with the City Rhythm Orchestra, Tomasello brings forgotten classics back to life in a show debuting at Resorts Casino. We explore the passion, persistence, and Philly roots behind this extraordinary musical rediscovery.
