Francis A. & Edward K. è un album discografico del 1968 di Frank Sinatra e Duke Ellington and His Orchestra.
Il disco
Questa fu la prima volta in cui Sinatra collaborò con Ellington e la sua celebre big band. Il progetto Sinatra/Ellington era atteso da lungo tempo, ma quando finalmente si concretizzò, il risultato non fu pienamente soddisfacente.[1] Ellington aveva da poco perso il suo partner musicale per eccellenza, Billy Strayhorn, e gli arrangiamenti inadatti per i brani, uniti all'orchestra ellingtoniana che sembra suonare "fredda" e di malavoglia, contribuirono all'insuccesso dell'album presso critica e pubblico.[1] L'unica composizione sul disco firmata da Duke Ellington è I Like the Sunrise.
Il termine delle sessioni per l'album coincise con il cinquantaduesimo compleanno di Sinatra.
