Steppin' Out With My Baby
Performer: Tony Bennett
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Although fairly brief, this set of Tony Bennett sides still manages to condense a long career (the earliest track here is from 1960 while the latest is from 1999) into a succinct arc, and features this fine, timeless singer working with a host of jazz artists, including Stan Getz, Herbie Hancock, and Wynton Marsalis, and yes, of course, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" is here, along with "Put on a Happy Face" and others. ~ Steve Leggett
One of the finest voices of 20th century American pop, Tony Bennett began his career in the '50s, under the watchful eye of producer Mitch Miller, recording huge hits such as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," and "Because of You." In 1958, his album BASIE SWINGS-BENNETT SINGS was a precursor to later jazz-based work. That same year, "Firefly" was Bennett's last US Top 40 entry until 1962, when he made a major comeback with the Grammy-winning "I Left My Heart In San Francisco." In '93 and '94 he was awarded Grammys for his albums PERFECTLY FRANK and STEPPIN' OUT.
