I’m back with new episodes after a three week break.
There have been many well-deserved tributes to Tony Bennett, who we lost July 21st of this year. Here is another one, focusing mostly on his ‘jazz’ side.
A number of great jazz musicians played with and respected Tony Bennett, and I feature a few of what I think are the best recordings. The players include Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Dave Brubeck, Stan Getz, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, Bill Evans, Phil Woods, and a few others. And, of course, his long-time accompanist and music director, Ralph Sharon.
I also tell a few stories about him and some of the songs he popularized—some of which you may have heard before, and others not.
