Sinatra & Company is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1971.

The first side of this album is in the Bossa nova style, and the second side of the album is influenced by soft-rock, featuring a couple of standards from John Denver and more.

The bossa nova recordings were originally cut for a follow-up album to the widely acclaimed Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim. Arranged by Eumir Deodato and with the recordings completed and artwork finalised, the album release was aborted after some of Sinatra's less mainstream albums of late hadn't performed as well as his pop-oriented LPs.

Two songs recorded at this session, "Bonita" and "Sabiá", were omitted from the final cut of this album, but were released on the 1979 compilation, Sinatra-Jobim Sessions.

A few 8 track versions of Sinatra-Jobim did survive, and are now extremely sought after by collectors [1].
