Tony Bennett

[marcello]

I remember that Harold Land toured with him in his band at one time.

Like his new one with Bill Charlap. Wonderful version of "Lift Yourself Up."

You buried the lede:  it's a collection of Jerome Kern songs.  And I agree that it's very good.

Regarding Land with Bennett, archive pickers should start looking for the TV commecial (videotaped, not filmed) for, iirc The Las Vegas Jazz Appreciation Society. I was working in Vegas with a traveling band, and that was one of the first things I saw when I truned the TV on, that commercial, with some brief but sweet Harold Land and some HITHISISTONYBENNETT Tony Bennett. Hopefully a copy exists somewhere in some form.

And I'm not sure at all, but I THINK maybe the Bennett/Land thing was on Carson once?

Von Freeman played with Milt Trenier, Harold Land played with Tony Bennett, don't tell me we don't like singers now, singers help people eat.
