Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall June 9 1962: Complete Concert

Description

Product Description Available in its entirety for the first time! This legendary '62 performance was an instant classic when it first came out, but now it's back with 18 tracks (12 on cassette) that have never been released. Includes Rags to Riches; (I Left My Heart in) San Francisco; That Old Black Magic; Fascinating Rhythm; I'm Just a Lucky So and So , and more. .com This two-CD set adds unreleased tracks to what was already a superb representation of Tony Bennett's art, the 1962 concert catching Bennett at an early peak in his career. He was already a major exponent of the classic American songbook, and here he's both summarizing his work and branching out into then-new directions. He's equally effective as a ballad singer, including seldom-heard gems like Kurt Weill's "Lost in the Stars," and as a rousing jazz stylist, swinging effortlessly on familiar tunes like "All the Things You Are" and "Chicago." The concert includes a rendition of "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," a song that had just been released at the time. --Stuart Broomer
