"This si the absolute best cd Jones has ever recorded!!! This is the BEST!!! His voice is smooth and wow he holds and hits thsoe notes with more vocal control than anyone in the business. This is a great tribute to Bennett, and Benent I'm sure was greatful. and thank you Jack for having the courtosy of doing this tribute before Tony pases on. I'm sure many will record his songs after he's gone, but you had the decency to record this while he's around to enjoy it. This is Jack with a jazz trio at his best, singing like a real jazz pro! The Mike Renzi Trio is well featured here!"

The HIGHLIGHT of Jack's long career!

"As Jones once told me "This was a labor of love" referring to his Tony Bennett tribute. I had the honor of seeing him live, with Phyllis Diller, Jones was wonderful! He sang many of these tunes. On this cd we are lucky to hear Jones with Mike Renzi's jazz trio(which is sort of like Bennett's own Ralph Sharon Trio). This is sheding new light on Jones, Jones the jazz singer... this is art in the highest form, and Jones' appealing baritone is stronger and more appealing than ever! He has the greatest vocal control of any singer today, and he really is the greatest singer around today(giving steve Lawrence & Tony Bennett some competition). A great CD(get one for a friend for Christmas, it makes a great stocking stuffer)."
