TONY BENNETT & COUNT BASIE: A Swingin' Christmas

TONY BENNETT
Tony Bennett novamente no blog e, como sempre, em boa companhia: desta vez é acompanhado pela legendária banda de Count Basie, num de seus álbuns natalinos.
------------------
TONY BENNETT & COUNT BASIE
Tony Bennett records his first holiday CD in forty years since his 1968 release of “Snowfall, “ and this latest project, “Tony Bennett: A Swingin' Christmas Featuring The Count Basie Big Band' is destined to become an annual favorite of the season. Featuring 11 tracks, Tony swings such classics as “I'll Be Home for Christmas, “ “Winter Wonderland, “ “Santa Claus is Coming to Town, “ and the CD introduces his daughter, Antonia, who duets with Tony on “I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm." Phil Ramone, who has worked with Bennett on several of his recent outings including the multi-platinum “Duets: An American Classic, “ produced the CD. Danny Bennett, Tony's son and manager, is Executive producer. The recording and mixing was handled by Bennett's son, Dae Bennett, owner of Bennett Studios. The album was recorded live on the stage of Bergen Pac in Englewood, N.J., keeping with Bennett's mandate to embrace the live aspect of performing in the recording process. The jazz pianist Monty Alexander took on the role of Count Basie at piano.
