| 0:46.3 | Today's lesson is dedicated to our dear friend, Rachel Morgan, who was asking us, |
| 0:52.3 | Hey, guys, what do you think of this new Tony Bennett-B Gaga album? I think it's the second one they've done together. Yes. And it just came out this last week as we're recording this episode. Yeah. So, of course, we hadn't heard it yet. So we hadn't heard it yet. But, you know, I don't know about you, man, but I'm kind of a sucker for Tony Bennett. Oh, Tony's the best. He is, I think, you know, in the music that we play here, there's so many people that sort of cross over that represent us in greater popular culture. And I think Tony Bennett does a great job of representing, you know, the jazz musician. And I mean, this is someone who's made albums with Lady Gaga and Katie Lang, but also Bill Evans, you know what I mean? Oh, and that's one of the great records. That'll be for another episode. Exactly. The duo record. But, and it's all him. It's still his personality, his, his, his, his, his musicality is still very strong, even when he's doing these very broad, general things. So I thought it would be fun today to talk about our favorite times that jazz musicians go pop. And what I mean pop is I mean like the big time, like the big stage, right? We're not messing around here. So not a jazz record. This is not for like our Greenwich Village audiences. This is for the greater population. This is uptown. This is Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Middle America. Yeah, you got skin in the game. More than just lower Manhattan is hearing you. I love it. I love it. So before we jump into that, we just want to say a big shout out and send a lot of love to Tony Bennett. And I don't know if you know this. He just turned 95. I know. Yeah, there's been a ton of I haven't actually seen anything on this album, but I've seen a ton of interviews with Lady Gaga and with him, and yeah, he's... Wait, is it Lady Gaga or Lady Gaga? It's Gaga. Oh, I thought it was Lady Gaga. Okay. No, it's itself. Gaga. Gaga. I feel like your kids are right in the sweet spot of the Lady Gaga era. No? They were into it? Yeah. No, yeah, they were little when, Lady Gaga, or depending on how. |
| 2:18.4 | Not Gaga. |
| 2:18.9 | Nope. |
| 2:19.1 | No, but she's been around for a minute. We forget that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, compared to Tony Bennett, she's a spring chicken. That's right. But this is a cool thing. Do you know about Tony Bennett earning a Guinness World Record recently? For what? I mean, like just a few days ago for when this new record, |
| 2:53.4 | Love for Sale was released, |
