An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett
The Year of Tony Bennett congratulates Tony Bennett on the nomination of the PBS Great Performances Duets II for an Emmy award for Outstanding Variety Special. An Emmy and a Grammy in the same season? Absolutely! Here’s a link to the news announcement from Reuters.
It’s been released on DVD and can be purchased at Amazon in regular DVD and Blu-Ray formats.
Congratulations to all of the artists on the DVD as well as the production crew.
I checked to see if the DVD for The Zen of Bennett was available on Amazon.com a few weeks ago. I didn’t find the DVD, but what I did find was a listing for a new book by Tony Bennett: Life is a Gift: The Zen of Bennett, to be published by HarperCollins Publishers on November 20, 2012.
The book is available for pre-ordering at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
According to Harper, it will also be available as an audiobook. We are hoping that Mr. Bennett will be reading his own book.
We at The Year of Tony Bennett can hardly wait!
Stay tuned for more details … from what we’ve read, this is shaping up to be a terrific album.
