The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 8, 2019 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Fascinating Rhythm

The song of the day for Saturday, February 9, 2019, is “Fascinating Rhythm.”

About This Song

Written in 1924 for the Broadway musical Lady Be Good by George and Ira Gershwin, “Fascinating Rhythm” was introduced by Cliff Edwards and Fred and Adele Astaire. The Astaires also recorded the song in 1926 with Gershwin on piano. “Fascinating Rhythm” was and still is, a great jazz number. For that reason, it has never been out of favor with jazz artists, both vocal and instrumental.

About This Version

Today’s version is from Tony and Diana Krall’s Grammy-nominated album Love is Here to Stay. Bennett first recorded this song in 1949!
