The Drop: Seth MacFarlane

Featuring a Special Appearance from Tina Sinatra

Moderated by LOGIC 

The GRAMMY Museum is thrilled to welcome Seth MacFarlane to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening celebrating his new album, Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements, beginning with special remarks from Tina Sinatra, a screening of his short film documenting the making of his album, a discussion moderated by Grammy nominated artist LOGIC about his creative process, and a short performance.

Boasting an impressive musical portfolio, MacFarlane’s ground-breaking ninth studio album, Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements, was released on June 6 and includes twelve never before-heard arrangements. Originally created for Frank Sinatra by his legendary collaborators Nelson Riddle, Billy May, and Don Costa, the arrangements remained in the private collection of the Sinatra family, unheard – until now. The album released to tremendous success landing a trio of US Billboard chart rankings, reaching #1 on iTunes’ Jazz chart, top 3 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, top 5 on Jazz Albums, and top 20 on the Top Album Sales chart.
