Two very thoughtful interviews have come to our attention this week.

First is from our friends at JazzTimes Magazine, conducted by Roseanne Vitro. The introduction to this interview contains this statement that I believe 100%:

There are artists whose impact on the planet is incalculable. Tony Bennett is one of them.

You can read the article online at the JazzTimes website.

Second is from the archives at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation that were recorded in the late 1960s or early 1970s. We want to thank the great people at The Notes You Don’t Play blog for seeking out this interview and providing links to it.
