- Just to mention, that one of the writers of this song, Sharman Howe, is a friend of mine and a supporter and fan of Just a Touch of Jazz. This song has a great story behind it and was written specifically for Frank Sinatra. It was also covered by others, like Liza Minelli and Sammy Davis, Jr. “Here’s to the Band” acknowledges beautifully how important the band and musicians are to the performer.
