Free Music Review: The other side of Tony Bennet...
Hit: 5 Stars
When I was growing up, Tony Bennet and many others like him (Sinatra, Dean Martin) were considered passe and most record stores filed them away in the "easy listening" section along side Lawrence Welk and Liberace. Now all of that music once considered so square has suddenly become "hip" while 1970s pop, rock and disco sounds dated.
While Mr. Bennet's smooth and rich voice is perfectly suited to the more syrupy collaborations he made with Percy Faith and Mitch Miller, the other side of Tony Bennet is revealed here in this jazz anthology. Not only does he use his wonderful voice as a fine-tuned jazz instrument, he is also featured with a variety of jazz musicians who also make this CD a "who's who" of the genre.
I was lucky enough to see Mr. Bennet in concert a few years ago. He could tone it down or jazz it up, as he does in this compilation...also a classy guy and a class act.
Free Music Review: Tony Bennett Goes Jazzy
Hit: 5 Stars
If you want to listen to some of Tony Bennett's jazziest and swingiest performances when he was younger, then this is for you. This is an absolute delight to fans of Tony Bennett and jazz aficionados who appreciate the talents of Count Basie, Zoot Sims, Ralph Sharon, Stan Getz, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Chico Hamilton, Herbie Mann, Art Blakey, Nat Adderley, Al Cohn, Chuck Wayne, Milt Hinton and Elvin Jones.
Mr. Bennett is singing his heart's sentiments with different tunes in "Solitude" and "I'm Through With Love," a song declaring that "he's through with love and has locked his heart and kept his feelings there, and stocked it with an icy Frigidaire." Will somebody melt that icy heart?
While he's totally swinging it out with "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me," "Lullaby of Broadway" and "Just One Of Those Things," he's gradually slowing it down with "Stella By Starlight," then easing it smoothly with "On Green Dolphin Street" and "Danny Boy."
Listen and enjoy the jazzy side of Tony Bennett.
Wholeheartedly recommended.
Free Music Review: just average
Hit: 3 Stars
Though this album had some highlights, I was a little disappointed when I received...it's just average. Guess I just anticipated moreFree Music Review: One Song Makes it all Worthwhile but the Others are Nice Too
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a good effort. Tony Bennett sings in a swinging jazz style and does a great job of it. Some of the recordings are studio quality and others are recorded live. All are first rate. One song, though, sets this album apart. "Solitude" will grip even the most jaded heart. After hearing that one, the rest were superfluous. They were good, however.Free Music Review: Bennett's Best
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are familiar with Tony Bennett only from "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" or "MTV Unplugged," and are at all interested in him, listen to this one. This is Bennett's Best. He recorded this in the 1950's, when he was in his prime and his voice had all of the notes. The most stunning cuts from this album are the ones toward the end that he did with Stan Getz ("Out of This World", "Just Friends", "Have You Met Miss Jones" and "Danny Boy"), but the whole album is one glorious romp through the best of Tin Pan Alley. Essential for Bennett fans, and highly recommended for anyone else.
