Average Rating: Rating: - A masterpiece from two superb vocal stylists Since returning to the Columbia roster in the mid-80's, Tony Bennett has made a number of superb albums...and this new one is no exception. Thankfully, he has brought the gifted k.d.lang along for the ride in a collection of songs associated in one way or another with the great Satchmo. The superb orchestrations were penned by the legendary arranger Peter Matz (presumably his final project before his death this past August). Both singers are in excellent voice here, and blend well together - Tony continues to enthrall listeners, even at 75 years young, and k.d. demonstrates that she has the voice to handle the great pop standards. She should make a standards album on her own in the near future. Rating: - "You Can Depend On..." This One Louis Armstrong is my favorite instrumentalist AND vocalist of all time. So, we have Tony Bennett (the best old style jazz singer still kicking) and K.D. Lang...well, what do you say about K.D. Lang? Just the best voice in so-called country and easily one of the top four vocalists in jazz (with Cassandra Wilson, Diane Reeves and Diana Krall). Now we have these premier singers doing Louie songs. How about that cover of "Exactly Like You". Oh man. I listened to that one four times before I went on the rest of the album. Every song is exquisite. "What a Wonderful World" is my numero uno song on the hit parade of all songs ever written. What a great cover. And dig that cover of "Lucky Old Sun". Whoa. I had to go through that one three times before moving on to "If We Never Meet Again". So on my fifth listening to this CD, I'd say T-Bone hit another one out of the park... Rating: - A Wonderful Pair Ever since I "stole" a mini 33 album from my older sister, I've loved Tony Bennett's voice. It's not perfect, but it has an appeal for me. Plus, he's one of the few who still sing pop music. (But that's not to negate him as a wonderful cabaret/jazz singer). I saw him perform about a month ago here in Albuquerque & it was a great show. He is (according to him) 76 years old and going strong. One of the most endearing aspects of Tony Bennett is his sincere accolades to other performers, including the musicians who back him up or accompany him. Such it is with k.d. lang. I've never been a fan of hers (and can't say that I would ever buy any of her solo CDs), but have always appreciated their duets & knew how much Tony respected & admired her talent. So this CD makes perfect sense. It's a great blending of two talented singers. I have a new appreciation for k.d. She has a good delivery & feel for music. Of course, I buy any new Tony Bennett CD unheard, as I did this one. Perfect timing for release: it's helped me to complete my Christmas list!
