[Machine Translation] Music Legend, 89-Year-Old Tony Bennett, is Ready to Follow Up His Album with Lady Gaga with a New Album! Music legend Tony Bennett is releasing his new album "The Silver Linings - The Songs of Jerome Kern", the follow-up to his Grammy Award-winning "Cheek to Cheek" album with Lady Gaga (2014), which became the No. 1 album in the U.S. This new album features the works of Jerome Kern (1885-1945), one of the most important composers in the history of 20th century American music, who continued to write masterpieces of musicals and popular music. Less than a year shy of his 90th birthday, Tony Bennett, now 89 years old, has been a top singer for more than 60 years. At the age of 86, he became the oldest artist ever to hit #1 in the U.S. with Duets II, and his collaboration with Lady Gaga, Cheek to Cheek, was the first to reach #1 in the U.S. He broke his own record at the age of 88 when "Cheek to Cheek" debuted at number one in the U.S. with Lady Gaga. Jerome Kern has written more than 700 songs during his career, and has sung in more than 100 musicals, including such classics as "All Man River," "Can't Help Loving You," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "Tonight You Are," and "Long Ago. His musical "Show Boat" is one of his best-known works. Music journalist Will Friedwald, who also writes for the Wall Street Journal, wrote of Jerome Kern: "He is the key person between the historical and contemporary masterpieces, the direct link between Brahms and Charlie Parker. He is one of the fathers of what Tony Bennett later coined as the "Great American Songbook. The idea for the Jerome Kern Songbook project came from Tony Bennett himself. The album is a collaboration with pianist Bill Charlap. Tony Bennett released Duets for his 80th birthday and Duets II for his 85th birthday. As he turns 90 next year, he will be aiming for a Grammy with this album.
