Duets II: The Great Performances [Blu-ray]

Woke-up early and put on PBS TV and watched a replay of Tony Bennett's Duet 2, and now after seeing it, I am just about to place my order for the DVD on Amazon. This was recorded in 2011 for Tony's 85th birthday. He is amazing. His voice has aged like a fine wine, it just get's better and better. His energy and his love of fine music is so evident as he performs with today's Pop singers in this outstanding DVD. The respect and love for him just radiates from each performer he duets with and is than redirected back to them by Tony. Really a joy to see.I am a fanatic jazz fan and catch the scene at many of New York's jazz clubs and really can't take to today's unmemorable music, but I have gained a new respect for many of the Pop performers featured in these Duets with Tony. Their performance's of the beautiful standard's selected here, really shows their true talent when they are given lyrics to perform that have true meaning, and their give and take with Tony display's a side of their personality that is a delight to see. Now if some of these performers recognize that there really is a market for the great standards and JAZZ, maybe they can convince today's producers and broadcaster's that their is an audience for this music after all and than start to introduce jazz to today's listeners so they can get to actually develop a taste for it and once exposed to it, get to like and appreciate this great American music before it disappears from the scene all-together. Tony is giving this music a new life and I don't know where and when it will ever get this kind of exposure again after he stops performing. Keep on trucking Tony, you are great music's last chance to reach today's younger music fans. LONG LIVE TONY BENNETT!

One of the finest compilations of music I've ever had the pleasure to own. Tony is, as always, superb. Not justin one music genre, but in most. Wouldn't surprise me, if he can Rap, or tune to any of the newer music additions.His way with song and cadence is wonderful to listen to, and it's a joy to watch him let the music roll out. HIsguests are all special too. Different, yet all superior song artists; and they definitely show their enjoyment ofsinging with this great master of song. I would absolutely love and cherish a Duet III.

It's frigging amazing, Every one show have it

All the best fresh names in the industry to sing with and the uncanny talent for picking the right song to sing with each one is amazing! I loved loved loved this Great performances DVD as it taped not only the official music videos of each of the duet's recording session but great interviews and behind the scenes in the making of the album. I couldn't believe it was lady Gaga singing the classic The Lady is a Tramp. Queen Latifa has that beautiful smooth jazz/ big band, Natalie Cole sound that I wish she would sing more often. Her albums are few and far between these days. John Mayer,Michael Buble and Josh Groban! kd Lang and Diana Krall the list of my favorite singers goes on! The best part is how well Tony Bennett still sings with all of them and his Jazz ensemble at the age of 85.

all good

This was a gift for my father-in-law and he was ecstatic to receive it. It arrived in perfect condition and there were no problems at all.

I can't call myself a Tony Bennett "fan", but over the years I have enjoyed his music. While Tony isn't in his prime here, he is more than just "good for his age". Seeing and hearing the chemistry between him and his partners on these tracks is worth the price of admission and the respect and admiration of his companions is evident in the music and in the videos. The bonus with the video is hearing what his partners have to say about their collaborations and their feelings about Tony.I can't say there are any clunkers here, even though I'm afraid I just can't relate to Amy Winehouse. And although I am a bit of a Willie Nelson fan, I felt that track was a bit of a walk-through and, while still good, was not as inspired as other tracks. There were a few moments when I felt Tony's voice didn't quite support the inspiration of the moment, but there were many more moments of brilliant, if sometimes subtle collaboration that are purely inspiring. He really comes alive, both musically and visually on the track with Lady Gaga. I'd never paid much attention to Lady Gaga, but this performance definitely got my attention. Failure to mention the other fine artists and performances on this album should not be taken as a slight. I don't want to over-analyze; I prefer to savor the experience. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole album and we each now have a couple new artists we would like to listen to some more.Thank you, Tony.

Nous sommes encore quelques uns à connaître ces chanteurs et c'est heureux.De parents d'origine italienne Tony Bennett est né le 3 Août 1926, Bon pied non œil, il va certainement nous sortir quelque chose de derrière les fagots pour ses 90 ans ! Moi, je suis preneur !En attendant ce fringant jeune-homme, non content de s'être offert un festival avec Lady Gaga en 2014, c'est pour ses 85 ans c'est à dire en 2011 qu'il enregistra ces duos et ce DVD est arrivé en 2012.Donc avec Natalie Cole vous vous pouvez les entendre chanter "Watch What Happens" Et c'est beaucoup.Mais aussi avec Andréa Bocelli : "Stanger In Paradise". Ce n'est pas rien non plus.Avec Michael Dublé : "Don't Get Around Much Anymore"Avec Queen Latifah : " Who Can I turn To" plus connu sous le titre " When Nobody Needs Me"Encore, le très fameux "Body And Soul" avec Amy Winehouse."It Had To Be You" avec Carrie Underwood."Blue Velvet" avec k.d. Lang"Speack Low" avec Norah Jones (qui me fait toujours plaisir quand elle se décide à chanter).Alors là aussi un "On The Side Of The Street" avec Willie Nelson. Ô que non, ce n'est pas rien non plus que ceci !!!"The Way You Look Tonight" avec Faith Hill"Yesterday I Heard The Rain" avec Alejandro Sanz ( à découvrir )."The Girl I Love" avec Sheryl Crow"This Is All I Ask" avec Josh GrobanAh ! "The Lady Is A Tramp" avec Lady Gaga ( Cette fois avec des cheveux bleus ou bleu-verts )"One For My Baby ( And One More For The Road) avec John Mayer. Oui, pas mal du tout !!!Et pour terminer en beauté.Avec la non moins connue Aretha Franklin : "How Do You Keep The Music Playing" !C'est beaucoup tout cela, personnellement je ne m'en lasse pas ! Il faut dire que je suis tombé dedans quand j'étais petit... ça aide ...Mais il n'est jamais trop tard pour bien faire... Alors, vous attendez quoi ?
