Sinatra/Basie: The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings is a 2011 compilation album by American singer, Frank Sinatra that consists 20 songs he recorded with jazz pianist, Count Basie. 10 tracks from "Sinatra–Basie: An Historic Musical First" (1962), and 10 more from "It Might as Well Be Swing" (1964).

It's virtually impossible to imagine a more swinging combination than Frank Sinatra---the premier pop vocalist of an adoring generation, and the mighty orchestra of Count Basie. Such a scintillating summit meeting actually unfolded not once but twice in the studio. This collection brings together both of those historic album-length collaborations, originally on the label Sinatra founded, Reprise Records. It's a thoroughly satisfying soiree.
