Performing at the Golden Nugget's Theatre Ballroom on May 27 - 29, 2005 at 9:00PM.
Bennett, himself a 1994 Grammy Winner for "Album of the Year," is known to the world for his golden voice and a career that spans forty years of jazz, popular song and even MTV, where his 1994 Unplugged album was a blockbuster hit. The singer says he's long been smitten with Armstrong and was eager to jump into a project like this. "Louis is the source of American popular music," Tony observes. "He influenced everybody from Sinatra to Peggy Lee to Charlie Parker and Bob Dylan." To this day, Tony keeps an extensive collection of Armstrong vinyl records. "Even as a kid I could hear one or two notes of a song and know it was him-- there was so much feeling and honesty and humbleness. He's a great teacher for a musician to listen to." Tony Bennett's "The Art of Romance" was release November 2004. |
