Had the pleasure of seeing one of the great male vocalists of all time last Wednesday night, the incomparable Tony Bennett. Backed with just a simple four piece jazz band, Bennett recreated the many magical moments of his some 50 years in the music business. Great classics like, "The Shadow of Your Smile" and "San Francisco" were done in Tony's warm, laid-back style. Now at 86 years young, Bennett seemed to be in no mood to move over for the youngsters. His voice was strong and he was in total command of the 90 minute performance. I was taking notes on his presentation and delivery, knowing full well that I could learn some things from the master.
