Tony Bennett on Columbia Records

columbia CGK 40424

This album is a collection of tracks ranging from sessions recorded in 1954 to 1967. Bennett credits jazz with sustaining his career, with winning him a new and ardent audience once the hit singles stopped coming. Like Miles Davis or Stan Getz or Bill Evans, Bennett's artistry is about lyricism and shading and soul - as the twenty-two tracks in this album illustrate.

Jazz features Count Basie, Nat Adderley, Ron Carter, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Herbie Hancock, Ralph Sharon, Chico Hamilton, Chuck Wayne, Herbie Mann, Milt Hinton, Art Blakey and Elvin Jones...just to name a few.
