- Axel Stordahl (August 8, 1913 - August 30, 1963) was an arranger who was active from the late 1930s through the 1950s. He is perhaps best known for his work with Frank Sinatra in the 1940s at Columbia Records. With his sophisticated orchestrations, Stordahl is credited with helping to bring pop arranging into the modern age. Stordahl was born in Staten Island, New York to Norwegian parents. He began his career as a trumpeter in Jazz bands which played in dance halls. In 1935, he joined Tommy Dorsey's new orchestra and soon became the band's main arranger. In January 1940, Sinatra joined the group as vocalist, and it became apparent that Stordahl's arrangements were particularly well-suited to the singer's voice. In January 1942, Stordahl arranged Sinatra's very first commercial solo recordings (which appeared on the RCA sublabel Bluebird), and when Sinatra left Dorsey seven months later to go solo, Stordahl went with him. In the subsequent decade, Sinatra cut close to three hundred sides for Columbia, of which three quarters were arranged by Stordahl. In addition, Stordahl provided the orchestral backings, both as arranger and conductor, for several hundreds of songs in various Sinatra radio shows. He was the credited orchestrator for the Academy Award-winning Sinatra/Kelly picture Anchors Aweigh. Stordahl was admired for his skills in framing Sinatra's voice, creating a soft, opulent sound with swirling strings, understated rhythms and woodwinds. He was one of the first American arrangers to tailor his work to the vocal qualities of a specific singer. When Sinatra moved to Capitol Records in 1953, Stordahl arranged his first recording session there (which produced four songs). From then on and for his first Capitol album, however, Sinatra worked with Nelson Riddle, who cultivated his jazz-oriented qualities. Stordahl, who had married singer June Hutton in 1951, went on to work with such singers as Bing Crosby, Doris Day, Eddie Fisher, Dinah Shore, and Dean Martin, among others. In 1961, Sinatra returned to collaborate with an already ailing Stordahl for his final Capitol album, Point of No Return. Although best known as an arranger, Stordahl also composed a number of songs of which "Day by Day (song)" is the best known. He composed and orchestrated TV's "McHale's Navy" theme. Stordahl died in 1963 at the age of fifty of cancer in Encino, California. He was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California. His wife June Hutton, who died in 1973, is interred next to him.
