Why see Tony Bennett?
One Cool Cat
Tony Bennett has taken some punches but he's still standing. The man that Sinatra once called "the best singer in the business" survived a mid-life career slump in the 70s and 80s to emerge the other side stronger than ever. Through his series of Duets albums, the most recent of which featured Lady Gaga, his unmistakable croon was introduced to a whole new generation. He is one of the select group of artists to have had a charting hit in every decade from the sixties up to the present day. And he still has that rat pack cool about him too.
Catch him on tour this to hear a repertoire that includes everything from Gershwin and Nat King Cole to the signature number I Left My Heart in San Francisco.

Classic Bennett!
Last night Tony was up to his own high standards of performance before a sold
out, appreciative audience. He hit on many of his classics, and had a brief
montage of several of these well-known works. Tony, you "flew us to the
moon," and we basked in the "shadow of your smile." Remember: the music
"never ends." No you didn't leave your heart "high on a hill" in San Francisco;
you brought it to Nashville--and we thank you! ... Read more

Tony Bennet's performance at Ravinia was outstanding
His voice was a wonderful and his performance of each song was magnetic. He sang each song as if he was telling a personal, heartfelt story. ... Read more

A fine wine mellows with age
My first time listening to the legendary Tony Bennett was an amazing experience! His voice was as clear as in the 1960s, perfect phrasing, cavorting across the stage saluting his band, moving like a 40-year-old! There must have been at least 25 songs (lost count) in the 90 minutes he was on stage--with no breaks except for the instrumental parts. He didn't even sit down, and he announced he's 93. Tony's voice was amazing--full, strong, great range--he hit every note right on! A list of favorites, including "I Lost My Heart in San Francisco" near the end. The beginning of the concert was a few songs by his favorite daughter Antonia, just so-so, reminds me of Nancy Sinatra who couldn't hold a candle to her dad Frank. Oh well. The audience was in love with Tony Thursday night, standing ovation, and "We love you Tony!" Unforgettable performance by an American legend. ... Read more
