OK, so here’s the first album review on the site, and I have to admit that while it’s not Instrumental Jazz Music, it’s well worth a listen by any jazz fan.
This album features the now 80-years-old Tony Bennett, singing the best of the American Songbook, accompanied by some of the best singers (and most surprising) in the world, including Diana Krall, Celine dion, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Bono, Michael Buble and the great Barbara Streisand.
Don’t miss the track listing (below), as there are some incredible pairings there.
This album is a very smooth, mellow treat, and I’m overjoyed that I found it. It features many of my favourite songs, and also introduced me to one or two as well.
