Released shortly after Tony Bennett's 80th birthday, 2006's Duets: An Amercian Classicfinds the beloved jazz/pop vocalist collaborating with an impressive array of friends and admirers. Amidst a backdrop of lush string and horn arrangements, Bennett, still in remarkably bold voice despite his age, shines on these winning tracks. Highlights include the buoyant "Lullaby of Broadway" (with the Dixie Chicks), the lightly swinging "I Wanna Be Around" (with U2's Bono), and a rendition of one of Bennett's smooth signature tunes, "The Best Is Yet to Come" (with Diana Krall).While duet albums can be spotty affairs, Bennett and his well-selected singing partners make this a thoroughly enjoyable set.
