An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett
The Year of Tony Bennett congratulates Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga for winning the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Album. We also congratulate Tony’s son Dae Bennett, who won the Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
Lady Gaga sang two songs from the album in a wonderful performance. This video from Entertainment Tonight sums it up.
It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Judy Garland here at The Year of Tony Bennett.
Opening in September is Judy, a biopic starring Renée Zellweger as Judy Garland. We’ve got a couple of previews to share:

And while I’m on YouTube, here’s Tony and Judy on the Judy Garland Show on July 30, 1963:
Judy Garland – Tony Bennett – I Left My Heart In San Francisco
July 30, 1963: Videotaping of “Episode Five” of “The Judy Garland Show” at CBS Television City, Stage 43, Hollywood. Judy’s guests for this episode were Tony Bennett and Dick Shawn.
As always, Tony Bennett will be appearing at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois, on August 4, 2017, just one day after his 91st birthday.
The Ravinia Associates Board is auctioning a wonderful package for this concert:
This auction will help raise money for the Ravinia Festival’s programs. You can bid on this fabulous package here.
Good luck!
If there is any kind of post that I love to write, it’s when I get to announce a pre-order for something from Tony Bennett.
Today, I’m happy to let everyone know that Tony’s new book, Just Getting Started, is now available for pre-order at online booksellers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Working with Tony on this book is NPR’s Scott Simon, who hosts Weekend Edition Saturday. It’s obvious to this listener that he loves Tony Bennett as much as we do and I think he’s an excellent choice of a collaborator. He did a lovely interview with Tony and Bill Charlap last October for the release of The Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern. You can listen to that interview here. It’s also being released as an audiobook–I’ll provide more information on that as soon as I learn more.
For those of you who live in the New York area, Mr. Bennett will be signing copies of his book at The Bookmark Shoppe in Brooklyn. Click here for more information.
