Tony Bennett and Diana Krall releases 'Love Is Here To Stay'

Tony Bennett and Diana Krall celebrate their shared love of the music of George and Ira Gershwin on their new collaborative album, Love Is Here To Stay, set for a September 14th release on Verve Records. Tony Bennett, who celebrated his 92nd birthday last Monday, has been friends with Diana Krall for over 20 years and the album will be out just in time for the 120th Anniversary of George Gershwin’s birthday which takes place on September 26th.

The album was recorded with the Grammy award winning Bill Charlap Trio. The stunning result is a subtle, sophisticated and a beautifully rendered love letter to The Gershwins’ music and their status as one of the premiere songwriters of the American popular standard. The duet tracks include “Love Is Here to Stay”, “S’Wonderful,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me” and “Fascinating Rhythm” to name a few.

Watch the official music video for Tony Bennett and Diana Krall’s “Fascinating Rhythm” from their forthcoming album Love Is Here To Stay. The music video was filmed during the recording of their new album, and was directed by Emmy-winning producer and director Jennifer Lebeau. “Fascinating Rhythm” was the first song Tony Bennett ever recorded, which was released under his then stage name, Joe Bari, in 1949.
