Tony Sale

Tony Bennett's career has enjoyed three distinct phases, each of them very successful. In the early '50s, he scored a series of major hits that made him one of the most popular recording artists of the time. In the early '60s, he mounted a comeback as more of an adult-album seller. And from the mid-'80s on, he achieved renewed popularity with generations of listeners who hadn't been born when he first appeared. This, however, defines Bennett more in terms of marketing than music. He would probably say that he has remained largely constant to his goals of singing the best available songs the best way he knows how in each phase of his career. Popular taste may have caused his level of recognition to increase or decrease, but he continued to sing popular standards in a warm, husky tenor, varying his timing and phrasing with a jazz fan's sense of spontaneity to bring out the melodies and lyrics of the songs effectively. By the start of the 21st century, Bennett seemed like the last of a breed, but he remained as popular as ever.

Nobody knows the Great American Songbook quite like Tony Bennett – who cemented his interpretive prowess by the early '50s and was still going steady (and strong) more than 50 years later. Although it's a bit of a grab bag, this collection of standards collects some of his best, including plenty of highlights from his years recording for his own label, Improv which, during the '70s, contributed more than just a few great works to the canon of vocal jazz (some with the assistance of another standards powerhouse, pianist Bill Evans).
