About Today

We conclude our look at The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album today. Hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.

About This Song

“Some Other Time” was written by Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by Adolph Green and Betty Comden, for the 1944 musical On The Town, the story of three sailors on leave in New York City and their romantic adventures. This song is sung at the end by two of the couples. Inexplicably, this beautiful song was cut from the 1949 film version.

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Bill Evans recorded “Some Other Time” in June 1975 for The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album. If I had to choose just one Tony Bennett recording to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be this one. It’s perfect.

“Some Other Time,” as well as The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album, is available on Apple Music.
