about
Vocalist Tony Bennett joined together with the well known jazz pianist Bill Evans (1929-1980) for two albums of sublime duets recorded for Fantasy in 1975 and 1976. According to Tony Bennett: “I said to Bill, ‘Listen, it will just be the two of us – you don’t bring your cronies and I won’t bring mine!’” Apparently, the only people in the studio were the two principals plus engineer Don Cody and Evans’s manager, Helen Keane. While Ms. Keane was nominally credited as producer, it’s clear that it was Bennett and Evans who selected the tunes, worked out the arrangements semi-spontaneously, and picked the final takes to be used. Venerated as gorgeous gems of jazz grace, the two LPs originally were issued as "The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album" & "Together Again," Now reissued as of April 14 2009, as a 2-CD set "The Complete Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Recordings". Tracks are available as digital downloads along with numerous alternate takes and bonus tracks from both sessions.
