Look What I Found on Amazon
I was shopping for a good used copy of one of Tony Bennett’s art books this evening and found something wonderful!
Yes … a new book–available in September 2018. From the Amazon page for this book:
Tony Bennett, at the age of 92, continues to connect to people everywhere through the magic of his music. He’s the quintessential interpreter of the Great American songbook, and recipient of numerous awards and honors, including 18 Grammys® and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, two Emmys®, and the first interpretive singer to receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize. Here, Tony, along with radio host, jazz expert, and close friend Dick Golden, reflects on the most important themes, influences, and inspirations that have informed his lifelong creative work, with a focus on music.
I’m over the moon to hear about this book. It’s available for pre-order and yes, I’ve already ordered my copy. Pre-order Tony Bennett Onstage and in the Studio today!
