Review: Tony Bennett and Diana Krall clearly relish the music of George and Ira Gershwin and this new CD celebrates their shared love of Gershwin’s work, and Bennett and Krall’s fruitful working relationship over the last twenty years. The CD is released to coincide with the 120th anniversary of George Gershwin’s birthday. At 92, Bennett is, remarkably still in excellent voice. Their voices are so well suited – they both sing with clarity and refinement so you don’t miss a word of Ira Gershwin’s witty lyrics, There are no lush orchestral arrangements with banks of strings here, just the top notch Bill Charlap Trio - They play with the same economy and expertise as the singers – no self-indulgence or filling. The whole recording is an exemplar of sophisticated music making, with perfect phrasing, rhythm and melody. Even the songs which have been sung and recorded many times appear fresh.
