KARACHI: Singer, actor and model Shahzad Noor came to Karachi from Lahore to sing Frank Sinatra’s classics at the National Academy of Performing Arts on Sunday afternoon.

He was accompanied by Karachi Jazz Band & concert pianist Usman Anees. A guest appearance by Seerat J Peerzadi was also the feature of the show.

Shahzad Noor, who sang memorable Sinatra songs like ‘The way you look tonight’, ‘Moon River’, ‘My Funny Valentine’, ‘New York’ and many more, brought with him the feelings of nostalgia that made many in the audience revisit their childhood memories.

His soulful voice made him a good reminder of the way Frank Sinatra used to sing. For the songs where the papa Sinatra was joined by his equally illustrious daughter Nancy, Seerat Peerzadi accompanied Shahzad.

A packed auditorium loved the musical afternoon.
