The trumpet virtuoso explores new ground with his Concord Jazz debut, melding classical orchestra and American standards with jazz.

Celebrating ten years since they first recorded together, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga returned to the studio for another collaboration featuring the very best of the Cole Porter songbook. The album features duets as well as solo performances by both artists accompanied by Tony Bennett's quartet, the Brian Newman Quintet, along with big band and orchestral arrangements by Marion Evans and Jorge Callandrelli.

Featuring 21 new recordings, ranging from fresh arrangements of traditional folk tunes to mainstays from the western classical repertoire, the songs here bring a sense of community, identity, and purpose, crossing boundaries and binding listeners together in thanks, consolation, and encouragement.

Legendary crooner Tony Bennett returns with a new collection of superstar duets that includes collaborations with Carrie Underwood, Josh Groban, and Lady Gaga. Duets II also includes Bennett and Amy Winehouse performing Body and Soul.
