Some Reno orchestra brought up for Sinatra? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crooner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'up for sinatra?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'some reno orchestra' is the wordplay.
'CROONER' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'brought' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crooner that I've seen before include "Crosby or Sinatra?" , "Crosby-type singer" , "One who sings like Bing?" , "Profession of Bing, Frank or Perry" , "Sentimental balladeer" .)
