Il traguardo dei 90 anni lo ha tagliato in agosto, ma per Tony Bennett e la festa continua: il 16 dicembre esce Tony Bennett Celebrates 90, in edizione standard e deluxe.
L’edizione standard conterrà la registrazione dello speciale NBC Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet To Come, registrato al Radio City Music Hall il 15 settembre scorso con un parterre di ospiti che andavano da Lady Gaga a Stevie Wonder, da Michael Bublé a Andrea Bocelli e Kevin Spacey, e include anche le loro performance.
Inoltre,compaiono le esibizioni di Billy Joel e di Elton John, registrate in altre location. Sarà inoltre presente un ricco booklet con 28 pagine di contributi e tra gli altri hanno scritto l’ex presidente Bill Clinton, Martin Scorsese, Harry Bellafonte, Johnny Mandel, Bill Charlap and Everett Raymond Kinstler.
Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Deluxe Edition invece comprenderà il cd standard e altri due cd con performance rare in studio e dal vivo mai pubblicate.
Nel booklet, un approfondito ricordo decade-per-decade della vita e della carriera di Tony scritto da Will Friedwald.
Inoltre, esce in America Just Getting Started, il quinto libro di Tony, scritto insieme al giornalista Scott Simon, nel quale Bennett ringrazia tutte le persone che lo hanno influenzato nella vita: dai suoi genitori a Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Lady Gaga, Pablo Picasso, infine la città di San Francisco.
