Tony Bennett: The Ultimate Interpreter of the American Songbook
Tony Bennett left behind a legacy defined by 19 Grammy Awards and a career that spanned more than seven decades. From his first hit "Because of You" to the Grammy-winning Cheek to Cheek album with Lady Gaga, Bennett's musical influence was unmatched.
Join Sanford Josephson, Editor of Jersey Jazz Magazine, for an engaging, illustrated presentation exploring Bennett's rise, the story behind "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," his deep jazz roots, and collaborations with Barbara Streisand and Amy Winehouse. This program is presented in partnership with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rutgers, a continued learning initiative for older adults to pursue classes in subjects such as art, cinema, and history.
Sanford Josephson has written extensively about jazz musicians in publications ranging from the New York Daily News to American Way magazine.
