The sweet anticipation of the release of Tony Bennett’s “Duets II” album is not without reason. Every track I’ve heard is exquisite, scored and engineered with warmth and love. Although the duet with Amy Winehouse is garnering attention for obvious and tragic reasons, it’s hard to choose a favorite. Tony and Aretha on “How Do You Keep The Music Playing… or Tony and K.D. Lang on “Blue Velvet”… or Tony with Sheryl Crow on “The Man/Girl I Love.” The dizzying array of knockout performances is serious. However, the performance that shocks me most is Queen Latifah’s turn on “Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me) is tasteful and lovely. All around brilliant set.
