Tony Rihan

EU-only four CD set containing eight albums from the legendary crooner: Because of You, Cloud 7, Alone at Last with Tony Bennett, Tony, the Beat of My Heart, Long Ago Far Away, Strike Up the Band and Hometown My Town.

“Bennett’s ability to straddle jazz and popular music was one he shared with few others. He managed to retain more of a jazz feel than either, and that’sN what Basie senses in him: a kindred spirit who is devoted to the not so very taxing business of s(w)inging the song with minimum distraction.”

Anthony Lawrence Carey (born October 16, 1953, Watsonville, California) is an American-born, European-based musician, composer, producer, and singer/songwriter. One of his earliest musical experiences was in a band called Blessings, in which he played until 1974 when Ritchie Blackmore hired him as keyboardist for Rainbow…

When the definitive swamp rocker Tony Joe White signed with Warner Bros. in 1971, it sure seemed like a good idea – while White seemed like an anomaly at Nashville's Monument Records, WB was a label with a reputation for nurturing creative mavericks with a taste for stylistic crossbreeding, and with his soulful, organic fusion of rock, blues, and country sounds, White was as individual as they came in the late '60s and early '70s.

Celebrating 10 years since they first recorded together, Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga return for another collaboration featuring the best of the Cole Porter Songbook. This album captures the creative and personal relationship of these two world-famous artists. Tony, who turns 95 on August 3, has spent over 7 decades dedicated to performing the Great American Songbook. Both artists are accompanied by the Brian Newman Quintet with arrangements by Marion Evans & Jorge Callandrelli.
