Frank Sinatra Corporate Singer, Jason Nazzaro
To Be Nearly Frank
Sinatra, Frankly 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 a couple of years longer than the old Sands, which was demolished in 1996. But, The Voice lives on, not only in countless recordings and a songbook borrowed by countless musicians in many different genres. Sinatra’s own inimitable style is preserved to a “T” with the faithful interpretation of his classics by crooners like Nazzaro.
Jason 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 as a singer – another trait he shares with Sinatra – Nazzaro was a natural at emulating the singer’s defining characteristic: his breathing technique and phrasing. He'll dissect a song for a month, listening and singing along. “If I couldn’t hold my breath as long as Frank, I was doing something wrong,” he says. “I would try over and over again until I got it right. I’m acquiring knowledge from the artist.”
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. "Guest come to hear Sinatra: I make sure they hear Frank himself." With 250 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 praise he’s ever received? From a woman of a certain age who, he states, “approached me after the show with tears in her eyes and said, ‘Thank you for allowing me to relive my youth.” It’s a good 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 really loves 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 royalty, 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 once a month. His faithful salesperson? Charlie Hallman, who “understands” Nazzaro’s dignified manner – “the best! I go to [the Artist] for everything.”
Always the Entertainer
A passion for making people happy spills over into Nazzaro’s personal life when not frank sinatra band /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 rather large collection, and Nazzaro’s own cooking. Son Lorenz, just a toddler, is not allowed to partake, but this “total ham” sure loves the atmosphere.
