Album Details:
The predictably classy Tony Bennett Sings the Ultimate American Songbook, Vol. 1 might trip you up if you're not an on-the-ball kind of fan: Unlike 2006's Duets: An American Classic and other recent Bennett projects that reached into the past for material but showcased his still mighty modern vocal prowess, Ultimate pulls from real-life days gone by; these are performances hand-plucked by the artist from the '50s, '60s, and '90s. As such, they're apt to add up to a long walk down memory lane for some and a refresher course on why the man matters for others (time has been kind to Bennett, but his gifts were evident decades before he became eligible for Social Security, they'll find). For both camps, the music will sound reliably sophisticated and flecked with magic. Highlights include Cole Porter's haunting "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye," from 1958, and the spunky "Ain't Misbehavin,'" from Hot Chocolate, recorded in 1964. But the title can't be counted out when it comes to reeling off the best bits: "Vol. 1" indicates a volume two is on the way, after all. --Tammy La Gorce
