ViviLittleM 3 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 5:20 p.m. Standing in a muddy field isn’t the optimal setting to enjoy show tunes and vocal jazz standards, but tell that to the thousands of people packing the Gentilly Stage to see Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. The classy pair, backed an orchestra worthy of Frank Sinatra, took turns solo and duetted on some of the finest songs from the Great American Songbook: “Anything Goes”, “Cheek to Cheek” and “Sing, You Sinners”, among others. “The record company says, ‘You only do old songs.’ That's because I don't like the new ones,” Bennett cracked wise on stage.Bennett continued on, with his rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “For Once in My Life” and “World on a String”, while Gaga joined him for “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” and, near the end of their set, “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye”.Sadly, the crowd to see the duo was so large, they were difficult to hear at the end of the Gentilly Stage’s field, at one point inspiring at least one pocket of the crowd to chant “Turn it up!” The technical difficulties were eventually fixed and Gaga, as usual, gave a feast for the eyes, darting on and off stage for as many as eight costume changes, one inspired by Marilyn Monroe, another by Jessica Rabbit.http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/music-festivals/6546117/new-orleans-jazz-festival-lady-gaga-tony-bennett?utm_source=twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
