Duets II: The Great Performances DVD Trailer

Biography

Less than ten months before he would celebrate his 85th birthday, Tony Bennett stood on the field of AT&T Park in San Francisco during the 7th inning of the first game of the 2010 World Series between the Giants and Texas Rangers (San Francisco would go on to win the championship in 5 games). This was his second time “at bat” during the game. Earlier he’d dazzled the home team crowd with his a… Read more in Amazon's Tony Bennett Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Recordings for Christmas - Target Exclusive Available, October 15, 2008

Bill Anthony "billjbfan" (North Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Swingin'Christmas (CD/DVD) (Audio CD)

This Deluxe edition has a bonus DVD with a 24 minute "Making Of" special that is well worth the extra cost. At Target Stores, there is an additional/exclusive 20 minute segment on the DVD called "Live In Concert", that turns out to be a new performance with the Count Basie Orchestra and pianist Monty Alexander of several complete tunes from this album! (My Favorite Things, I'll Be Home For Christmas, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, O Christmas Tree, Winter Wonderland, and Silver Bells)
The "Making Of" segment only contains partial or interrupted sections of the live performances.

The Johnny Mandel/Alan & Marilyn Bergman song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" on this CD was first released in 2004 on the Barnes & Noble exclusive version of Tony's CD "THE ART OF ROMANCE" under it's original title "A Christmas Love Song" (it was also recorded by Manhattan Transfer on their 1992 Christmas Album). All other tracks are new recordings with the Basie Orchestra.

WalMart (ughh) has a version with two "exclusive" bonus tracks - Let It Snow (from the Family Christmas TV Special 1992) and The Christmas Song (from his 2000 album with 3 other singers) - not new or exclusive material at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Must have" Christmas jazz!, December 20, 2008

John Peterson - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: A Swingin'Christmas (CD/DVD) (Audio CD)

Great album! If you like big band jazz this is a "must have" CD. I got the CD/DVD package. On the DVD Bennett is shown singing "The Christmas Song" (Torme) but sadly, it was not included on the CD. Pianist Monty Alexander plays more than the Count would have but was superb! Highly recommend; it won't dissappoint.
