| 1. Tony Bennett long ago ascended to the status of national treasure |
|
No Sinatra vs, Bennett flamewars, please, and I have the greatest respect for Sinatra's musicianship, but Tony is usually my first choice. Wanna know why? Check out "The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album." Just the most lyrical jazz pianist of all time and the greatest singer of standards doing what they do best. No accompaniment - not even bass and drums. No fancy production or overdubs. Just the genius of two virtuosos at work.

| 8. Bennett far superior, IMO. And doesn't seem to have the same |
|
difficulties staying on key!
I adore him.
Andy Williams, I could live without.

Two of my favorites - I never knew they performed together.
It brings back a lot memories for me as a kid watching them on TV with my parents.

| 5. Check out Tony's duets with k d laing |
|
or his MTV Unplugged.
Tony's son took over his management, and they fear no crowd or venue - and he still does encores a capella, and in a good hall, UNAMPLIFIED. NO microphone. Take that, milli Vanilli!
