Monday Music: Some Other Time (Tony Bennett & Bill Evans)

The legendary Tony Bennett recently announced his retirement from performing at the age of 95. His career has spanned eight decades. "Some Other Time" was recorded in 1975 with jazz pianist Bill Evans. It is from The Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Album in which the two musicians collaborated on nine songs to produce a rich smooth jazz sound. Bennett is known for interpreting the Great American Songbook, but this collaboration reveals a musical river that runs deeper in the singer than some fans might have realized.

 

"Some Other Time" was composed by Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green from the 1944 musical On the Town.
