Hit: 5 Stars
Tony delivers his usual high standard performance, uniquely matched by k.d. whose voice is as mooth as a baby's bottom. Their blend is one no one would've thought to put together, but it works--it REALLY works. Even in light on TB's new albumn of duets, this older one is one of the best.Free Music Review: The Odd Couple Making Perfect Music Together

Tony Bennett and k.d. lang. Whooda thunk? Obviously they both knew they clicked when they sang together on Tony's earlier CD of duets. Thank the Lord for the follow up. This is probably one of the most beautiful duets CDs I've ever heard. Hell, it's probably the most beautiful CD I've ever heard. Period. There is a chemistry between these two that is magical, soulful, playful, loving and serious all at the same time. Two great singers. Two great interpreters. Not a bad song on the CD. Musical perfection! Ya also gotta love Tony for paying a heartfelt spoken tribute on the A Wonderful World cut to the muse behind this venture, Louis Armstrong.Free Music Review: A Wonderful World - Tony Bennett and K.D.

I thought this was an odd pairing that might not work but I was definitely wrong. The reworkings of Louis Armstrong classics are timeless interpretations. K.D.Lang sounds as if she has been singing this type of music for decades. Naturally Tony Bennet is flawless with his silky smooth vocals remisniscent of Sinatra and a bygone era. The arrangements are quite nice, with great piano solos accompanied by horns that play in unison or dart out in solos with strings that soothe the savage beast. This is soft piano romantic music that does not require imagination, just two people in the mood for love. "I'm Confessin'(That I love you)" is a song that fits into the groove just mentioned. The give and take playful interplay between Lang and Bennet is right on time and comes across naturally. At times Lang sounds like another jazz songbird, Keely Smith. On possibly the most recognized Sachmo song and title track, "What a Wonderful World" there is a depth to the interpretation that transcends the original song. It is as though they concurr with Sachmo and want to honor his memory with a beautiful redo of his classic by making it even better. This is music for a quiet night to be with someone special, where you don't want the music to intefere with your romance but rather to enhace the mood. Get this disc, turn down the lights and listen to the songs over a nice candlelight dinner for a real treat.
