    Analyzing Frank Sinatra's Song 'Witchcraft'

    In Frank Sinatra's song "Witchcraft" I believe it is a swing tune because of the strong rhythm thought out the music. I also believe this could be considered a piece of Jazz music, due to the melody, harmony, and rhythm of the song. Although, one thing that sets Jazz music apart from other genres is that of improvisation. In this video I do not believe that Frank Sinatra is using improvisation in his music. Although the band possibly could be but that is unknown to most listeners. Personally for me, I love this kind of music, I feel as though it has so much depth and rhythm. As for the elements of Jazz, the music has a strong melody which is the tune of the song. It also contains a strong rhythm and harmony which is the heartbeat of any…
