As his contemporaries fade into the past, Tony Bennett remains the primary exponent of popular American song in the second half of the twentieth century. His vibrant, assured style is undiminished by time, and the added wisdom of his years as a song stylist has made his recent recordings even richer. In the tradition of his Frank Sinatra tribute, PERFECTLY FRANK, TONY BENNETT ON HOLIDAY is a collection of songs made popular by the great godmother of the torch song, Billie Holiday.
Backed by his longtime musical accomplice, pianist Ralph Sharon, and augmented on some cuts by a string section, Bennett interprets Holiday-associated material like "Trav'lin' Light" and "Laughing At Life." Many cuts receive a simple piano-and-vocal arrangement that allows pianist Sharon to strut his stuff as well as showing off the intimate nooks and crannies of Bennett's rich voice. Bennett's version of "Willow Weep For Me" is a standout by virtue of the shimmering whisper he uses to deliver the lovelorn ballad. At this point, Frank Sinatra's favorite singer seems incapable of releasing a poor album. In deference to Mr. Bennett's overwhelming artistry, we won't even mention the overdubbed duet with Holiday on "God Bless The Child."

Album review
As his contemporaries fade into the past, Tony Bennett remains the primary exponent of popular American song in the second half of the twentieth century. His vibrant, assured style is undiminished by time, and the added wisdom of his years as a song stylist has made his recent recordings even richer. In the tradition of his Frank Sinatra tribute, PERFECTLY FRANK, TONY BENNETT ON HOLIDAY is a collection of songs made popular by the great godmother of the torch song, Billie Holiday.
Backed by his longtime musical accomplice, pianist Ralph Sharon, and augmented on some cuts by a string section, Bennett interprets Holiday-associated material like "Trav'lin' Light" and "Laughing At Life." Many cuts receive a simple piano-and-vocal arrangement that allows pianist Sharon to strut his stuff as well as showing off the intimate nooks and crannies of Bennett's rich voice. Bennett's version of "Willow Weep For Me" is a standout by virtue of the shimmering whisper he uses to deliver the lovelorn ballad. At this point, Frank Sinatra's favorite singer seems incapable of releasing a poor album. In deference to Mr. Bennett's overwhelming artistry, we won't even mention the overdubbed duet with Holiday on "God Bless The Child."
