TONY BENNETT & BILL EVANS - The Legendary Recordings” by Tony Corrao and Joel Zelnik
In 1975, Tony Bennett collaborated with the legendary pianist Bill Evans to create an unforgettable masterpiece in the world of jazz. The two albums feature an unusual yet beautiful repertoire that excludes the usual suspects like Gershwin, Ellington, and blues. Instead, they mostly comprise songs associated with great female singers such as Mabel Mercer and Billie Holiday. Additionally, the album features Bill Evans' own "Waltz for Debby" with Gene Lees' lyrics. The result is a timeless collection of jazz that continues to captivate audiences across generations.
