Allmusic: Tony Bennett:
Tony Bennett's career has enjoyed three distinct phases, each of them very successful. In the early '50s, he scored a series of major hits that made him one of the most popular recording artists of the time. In the early '60s, he mounted a comeback as more of an adult-album seller. And from the mid-'80s on, he achieved renewed popularity with generations of listeners who hadn't been born when he first appeared. This, however, defines Bennett more in terms of marketing than music. He himself probably would say that, in each phase of his career, ...

A Wonderful World:
In a theater outside New York City, two great singers came together for a series of special sessions. The result, A Wonderful World, brings the great Tony Bennett and renowned vocalist k.d. lang together for a remarkable collection of duets on songs popularized by Louis Armstrong. Bennett, who has already established himself as a premier interpreter of American popular song on albums such as The Art of Excellence, Perfectly Frank, and Bennett on Holiday adds to his stellar repertoire with A Wonderful World.
Says Tony: "Greats like Sinatra and Ella made albums saluting the best American composers. So on my last several albums, my way has been to salute the great performers themselves. I enjoy doing that because it's a fresh approach, but it's also an excuse for me to sing some wonderful, wonderful songs."
k.d. lang, whose own masterful career spans country, pop and torch song, joined Tony on tour during the summer of 2001 and has known Tony since they recorded "Moonglow" together in 1994 for Tony's "MTV Unplugged" television special. "The opportunity for me to make a whole album with Tony Bennett was one of those things where you can't believe your good fortune," k.d. admits. "He's a legend, but more than that he's the best of a style of singing I've always admired" ...
