Sinatra is gone but his sound lives on among select devotees, among them vocalist-guitarist Vic Feniello, who’ll join with pianist Jerry Harrison, an accompanist whose credits include Billie Holiday, in Monteleone’s cozy old-school supper-club lounge, the sort of place that Ol’ Blue Eyes himself would surely approve of.
