Frank Sinatra Event Singer, Jason Nazzaro
To Be Almost Frank
Sinatra, Frankly comes alive in Franklin Lakes
crooner Jason Nazzaro, corporate event singer - songs by frank sinatra .
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 venerable Sands, which was taken down in 1996. And, The Voice lives on, not only in recordings and a songbook borrowed by countless musicians in many different genres. Sinatra’s own inimitable dignified manner 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 natural at memicing the singer’s defining characteristic: his breathing technique and phrasing. He’ll disect a song for a month, listening and crooning 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. I’m acquiring 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 Entertainer, incomparable to anything else he’s done. “People come to hear Sinatra; I make sure to give them Sinatra.” With 200 songs committed to memory, he can sing one upon request at a moments notice. After all, part of the audience’s “unforgettable experience,” he adds, is being included in the process. “What fun is it to go to a show just to watch someone on stage?”
One More for the Road
Nazzaro wants to always leave ’em smiling. The best admiration he’s ever received? From a woman of a certain age who, he says, “approached me after the show with tears in her eyes and said, ‘Thank you so much 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 incredible gnocchi with Bolognese sauce is the out of this world,” he states; owner Antonio Marra, “the nicest guy in the on the planet.” Nazzaro also really likes 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. Even 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 once a month. His reliable 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 cd /entertainment. He and grasious wife Ivy, who moved to Franklin Lakes after a decade in Ramsey, frequently have friends to dinner, serving good wine from his large collection (at right, a bottle of Opus One), and Nazzaro’s own cooking. Son Lorenz, just a toddler, doesn’t partake, but this “total ham” sure loves the atmosphere.
