Free Music Notes for A Wonderful World
Free Music Review: Amazing album, excellent stocking stuffer
Hit: 5 Stars
I thought albums like this one would not be made anymore!This is definately the best album Tony Bennett has ever made. k.d. lang is a more than equal partner for his singing talent, as her smooth and subtle renditions of popular classics all related to Louis Armstrong adds brilliance to hís still surprisingly dynamic voice.
All the songs are outstanding and T-Bone-Burnett's production underlines that. k.d. lang amazes me, she is even better than Tony. The warmth and the love both of these artists have for their material and for each other is obvious and can be heard in every track.
Not all of the tracks ae duetts - there are also solo songs on the CD. So there's no getting bored with this album. I am pleasantly siurprised. This is too good to be true.
Free Music Review: A great album to have
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a jazz lover for a while now and when I came across this album, I knew that it'll be a great one to get. Tony and K.Ds voice blend really well together and you can tell that they had fun cutting this album. Tony's ever classic voice coupled with K.d's smooth voice produce an album that I believe is a great showcase of each star's talents without overshadowing one another. My personal fav was the first song. Yes, Tony pays tribute to Mr. Armstrong and his attempt at doing "A Wonderful World" is a great effort but way short of the original. Then again, I don't think any artist can do it the way that Louis did.If you're looking for a great vocals album, pick this one up. Even if you decide you don't really fancy it, it makes great background music at parties.Free Music Review: A masterpiece from two superb vocal stylists
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
Free Music Review: A treasure

Here's a tribute to the great Louis Armstrong by two of the best popular singers working today. Though seperated by more than a few years of age, Bennett and lang sing together as if they have been doing so for a few decades instead of a few years. Tony sounds remarkable and Ms. lang is a joy. The arrangements are wonderful (listen to the horn on "Confessin' That I Love You" and hear what tasteful playing sounds like.) Brilliantly produced and sung, this CD is an instant classic, one you'll be playing years from now, and smiling all the while. Buy this one and pick up a few more for seasonal gifts. Anyone with ears and a penchant for popular song will love it!Free Music Review: The Odd Couple Making Perfect Music Together
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
