Description
The complete and only collection of studio recordings by these two legends of music together. In the past these recordings have been subject to intrusive audience overdubbing but here they are free from this and are in genuine stereo and wonderfully remastered. The warm, husky tenor of Tony Bennett with his jazz phrasing and spontaneity lends himself perfectly to the ultra swinging sound of Basie’s orchestra. Full discography of the sessions with comprehensive notes on the artists, and with the continued popularity of Tony Bennett this is quite simply a fantastic set.
