A
Tribute To Billie Holiday cbs出たばかりのほやほや |
1997年新作の超お薦め盤。ビリー・ホリデイに捧げたアルバム。レディ・デイ縁の全19曲を、しっとり歌い上げます。She's Funny That Way,Willow Weep For Meといったおなじみナンバーもちゃんと入っています。秀逸はラストナンバーの God Bless The Child。なんとレディ・デイとのデュエット。といってももちろん合成盤。ナタリー・コールがパパのナット・キング・コールとやったあれです。決して嫌みでなく、敬愛するトニーの思いが伝わってくるナンバーです。 |
Sings Harold Arlen cbs |
1960録音。アメリカが生んだ偉大な作曲家、ハロルド・アーレンの作品を集めた名盤。あまり話題にならなかったアルバムですが、じっくり聞くと、実に味わい深い曲ばかり。ヴァース部分が何とも言えず素敵な[Over The Rainbow]や[Come Rain Or ComeShine][Let's Fall in Love]など、玄人好みに仕上がってます。それにしても、ヴァースから完璧に歌いこなす歌手なんて、トニーはやっぱりすごい。 |
IN PERSON ! cbs sony |
カウント・ベイシー楽団と残した元気の出る1枚。トニーは他にも、STRIKE UP THE BAND 等も録音してますが、私はこれがイチオシ。録音された1958年といえば、ベイシー第2期黄金時代。大好きなソニー・ペインオジサンの豪快なドラムを聞きながら、ベイシーオジサンの替わりに、スピーカーの前で指揮してる。ラストチューンの OL' MAN RIVER は最高。わが家には永久保存用LP含め3セットあります。 |
Songs For The JET SET cbs |
1965年といえばジェット機が出始めた頃(らしい)。時代を先取り、ジェットで旅行を、と旅にちなんだ歌を集めたのがこれ。Jet
set,Fly me to the moon.アル・コーンTsを迎え、ボサノバから、バラードまでとにかくかっこよく歌う。このレコード、長い間探しました。そう、15年くらい、待ちわび、やっとの思いで手に入れた一枚。奥様よりつきあいの長いラルフ・シャロンのピアノも相変わらずシャレてます。 |
Get Happy cbs |
1971年、ロンドンの有名なロイヤル・アルバートホールの百年祭を記念したコンサートの実況録音。観衆7千人。入りきれない人数千人。フランク・シナトラが「私が自分でお金を出して聴きたい唯一の歌手」と言うトニーの最高傑作かもしれない。アルバムには、画家をめざしたトニーの絵が数枚入っている。ロンドン・フィルハーモニック・オーケストラをバックに I Left My Heart In San Francisco をフィナーレで歌うトニー、これを聴かずしてトニーは語れない。 |
A Hundred Years cbs |
アメリカポピュラー音楽会の重鎮・作曲家アービング・バーリンの100歳の誕生日を祝う記念のアルバム。1988年発売。正確にはトニーのアルバムではないけど、おめでたい席ですから。トニーはこの中で Always を歌ってます。大好きなレイ・コニフ楽団をバックに、ほんとに楽しそうに歌ってます。このアルバムには、ほかにフレッド・アステア、ダイナ・ショア、ジョニー・マティス、ペギー・リーとベニー・グッドマンなど、当時の録音で、みんながお祝いしてます。 |
The Tony Bennett Bill Evans Album fantasy Together Again improv |
ピアノの名手ビル・エバンスと二人きりで録音した。1975年6月。二人の息もぴったり。このアルバムに気をよくして、翌年にも Together Again というアルバム(こちらは自身のレーベル IMPROVから)を出してしまったくらい。Young and Foolish,My Foolish Heart,そして極めつけエバンスのWaltz For Debbyワイルドターキーをロックでやりながら、これはいけます。そういえば、A面の最後で We'll Be Together Again と再会を約束してましたっけ。最近になって気づいた。迂闊だった。 |
Love Watch Happens | 反則技ですが、レーザーディスクをご紹介。1991年、ロンドンのエドワード劇場でのライブ。劇場にはいるところから、コンサートまで、全28曲。セクシーな笑顔が相変わらずいい。オープニングの 'S WonderfulからフィナーレのFly Me To The Moonまでトニーフリークの英幸パパにとってはたまりません。 |
Tony sings ForTwo cbs |
恋人たちに贈るアルバム。「君のことは全部好きさ」「君がいなくなった夜、風も冷たいよ」なんて、ハッピーな歌から、ブルーな歌まで、甘辛両党の歌をそろえました。声の張りは健在。ラルフ・シャロンのピアノをバックにいつもの声を聞かせてくれます。 |
The Very Thought OF You | 1960年代の録音だと思います(ラーナーノーツありませんので)。ベルベットボイスが何ともいえず、一番好きな頃のトニーです。寄せ集め盤ですが、選曲がとてもいいので紹介します。Just In Time,Stranger In Paradise,Laura,Don'tGet Around MuchAnymore,Stella By Starlightなどなど、バックバンドもいいです。日曜日の朝、お掃除しながら(もちろんパパが)聞くと、仕事もはかどります。 |

BIOGRAPHY |
Tony Bennett has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in the late '80s and early '90s that matches his success in the '50s and '60s. He's been the model of consistency, singing with warmth, choosing ideal material and making excellent albums with their foundation in jazz regardless of lyric content. Bennett's admiration for jazz musicians has often been expressed, and he's said to have modeled his phrasing on Art Tatum's piano technique and delivery on Mildred Bailey's vocal style. He sang while waiting tables as a teenager, then performed with military bands during World War II, and later had vocal studies at the American Theatre Wing school. Comedian Bop Hope noticed him working with Pearl Bailey, and made some career suggestions, from them he changed his name from Joe Bari to Tony Bennett. Bennett's initial success came via several Columbia singles in the '50s. These included "Because of You," a chart topper in 1951, "I Won't Cry Anymore" and a remake of Hank Williams (Sr.)'s "Cold, Cold Heart" which also made it to the number one spot. Bennett had an impressive run of chart entries, with 24 songs making the Top 40 from 1950 to 1964, and hits for almost 16 consecutive years. "Stranger in Paradise," "Just in Time," "Rags to Riches," and "There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight" were other big '50s hits, and in the early '60s came the signature tune "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," which also won a Grammy, plus "I Wanna Be Around," "The Good Life" and "Who Can I Turn To." Bennett made the transition in the '60s and '70s to an album artist, with 25 LPs making the charts between 1962 and 1972. Robert Farnon provided arrangements for four major ones. Bennett didn't merely churn out hits; he recorded with Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Woody Herman. In the '70s, he played with Bill Evans and Jimmy and Marian McPartland. Later came sessions of Rogers And Hart songs with Ruby Braff that yielded two volumes of material. Bennett took a sabbitical from the recording studios in the '70s and '80s, concentrating on touring, performing and painting. Columbia filled the void with reissues until his '86 release The Art of Excellence.It primarily featured Bennett with Ralph Sharon's trio, but also included an intriguing duet with Ray Charles. A two-volume 1987 anthology Tony Bennett/Jazz featured an unissued track from 1964 with Bennett and Stan Getz. George Benson, Dizzy Gillespie and Dexter Gordon were guests on the 1987 new album Bennett and Berlin. His profile hasn't decreased in the '90s, thanks to the hit album Perfectly Frank devoted to songs popularized by Frank Sinatra and another album with numbers sung by Fred Astaire. Not only does he continue performing all over the world, Bennett's making new inroads; he appeared on MTV Unplugged in 1993. -- Ron Wynn and William Ruhlmann |
