Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: "Cheek to Cheek"

Over the past few weeks, I've spent quite a bit of time with Cheek to Cheek (Interscope), the much-ballyhooed Songbook album by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga that's out today. For many jazz fans, I suspect it will be difficult for them to go beyond preconceived notions about Lady and even Tony. In recent days, I've fielded emails from readers who insist they won't be listening to the album—accusing Lady of being a a fraud and Tony a doddering legend ...

This post is by Robin Davey of The Hoax and The Bastard Fairies.  Interview. Lady Gaga isn't holding back, her new record is coming out and she wants everyone to know. With the fastest selling number one in iTunes history, and her new video amping up hits on Vevo, it seems an unstoppable force. Right? Well to me it stinks of everything that was bad about the old industry and continues that predisposed self-destructive bent. You remember the one that imploded when CD's didn't sell ...
