Summary

Tony Bennett has a talent that's simply timeless. He's the smooth and subtle singer of the classic American songbook, the recipient of countless awards and nominations, and the idol of contemporary singers. What many of his admirers may not know, however, is that under the name of Anthony Benedetto, he is also a successful painter whose works hang in major museums and galleries, including the Smithsonian. Now, in a book richly illustrated with his own artwork, Tony takes the time to reflect on his career, and the inspiration that continues to infuse both his music and his art. Along with journalist Robert Sullivan, he explores recurring themes in his life, including jazz, individualism, the creative zone, love, truth and beauty, chiaroscuro (the balance of light and shadow, both in painting and life), and the lifelong adventure that has taken him around the world and back again.--From publisher description.
