Tony Bennett's new album, 'Duets - An American Classic', gets UK release...

Tony Bennett marked his 80th Birthday this year, launching the beginning of a multi-tiered celebration honouring this milestone. RPM Records/Columbia Records are proud to announce the UK release of the new album 'TONY BENNETT: DUETS/An American Classic', which hit UK stores on Monday 30th October.

Recorded live in the studio, the CD features Tony performing duets of his best loved songs with many of the top names in music: Bono, Michael Buble, Elvis Costello, Dixie Chicks, Juanes, Billy Joel, Diana Krall, k.d. lang, John Legend, Paul McCartney, George Michael, Sting, Barbra Streisand, James Taylor and Stevie Wonder. Instrumental musical guests on the album include trumpeter Chris Botti and violinist Pinchas Zukerman.

Tony Bennett is as popular now as he's ever been - more so perhaps - as his loyal fans now span the MTV generation as well as the original '50s and '60s crowd. The epitome of 'cool', Tony Bennett has always had an effortlessness about him - and this new album of duets with some of the biggest recording artists in the world demonstrates this has not diminished with age...

"Each duet artist brought their own soul and sensibility to their song performance and it was a wonderful gift for my birthday to be able to record with these talented musicians," commented Tony.
