Tony Bennett - I Wanna Be Around (1963) - VINYL, MONO - 24-bit/96kHz plus CD-compatible format

The studio album followup to Tony Bennett's breakthrough record, I Left My Heart In San Francisco.

Artwork is missing. I will redo and add a link in a few days.

The review below forgets that "ILMHISF" is basically another greatest hits collection, but no matter.
Still, I think this one blows that one away.

Review by William Ruhlmann
As the studio album followup to Tony Bennett's breakthrough record, I Left My Heart In San Francisco, I Wanna Be Around had a lot to live up to, but since San Francisco was a culmination of Bennett's development, not a fluke, I Wanna Be Around turned out to be almost on a par with its predecessor. "The Good Life" and "I Wanna Be Around" became Top 20 hits, showing that Bennett had somehow found a line into good new pop material, and there were also some excellent arrangements, courtesy of Marty Manning, including a percussion-and-flute reading of "Let's Face The Music And Dance" that echoed the Beat Of My Heart album and a nod to the South American trend with Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Quiet Nights (Corcovado)." A worthy successor.


Enjoy, please!
