More about this title

About the Artist: Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett (1926–2023) was an American singer whose career spanned seven decades and defined the popular song tradition. Known for his impeccable phrasing, perfect pitch, and devotion to the Great American Songbook, Bennett brought interpretive depth to every standard he performed, whether in jazz clubs, concert halls, or recording studios.

Bennett's later recordings, including his Duets albums, demonstrated his ability to collaborate across genres while maintaining his signature vocal elegance. His work as a performer and interpreter made him one of the most respected voices in American popular music and a model for how to sustain artistry and relevance throughout a lifetime of music-making.

Why we love this

This folio captures some of the finest vocal interpretations of classic American songs, and having the lead sheets in one place makes them immediately accessible for singers preparing for recitals, vocal competitions, or simply expanding their jazz and pop repertoire. The variety of these standards means singers can study how different melodies sit in the voice and explore phrasing choices from one of popular music's greatest interpreters.

What to expect

These songs carry the sophistication and warmth of mid-twentieth-century popular music: elegant, emotionally direct, and built on melodies that sit naturally in the human voice. Each piece balances accessibility with subtle harmonic complexity, inviting performers to find intimacy within songs designed for broad appeal.

Who it's for

Singers preparing standards for recitals, auditions, or performance. Pianists accompanying vocalists in jazz and popular music settings. Students exploring the Great American Songbook who benefit from seeing how these melodies work with their harmonic underpinnings.

How to get the most out of it

  • Study the chord changes carefully before focusing on melody; many of these standards use sophisticated harmonic movement that rewards close attention from accompanists and singers alike.
  • Listen to Bennett's recorded versions to understand his approach to phrasing and rubato, then make deliberate choices about where you'll follow or diverge from his interpretation.
  • Pay attention to how the piano voicings are notated; they offer guidance on comping style and harmonic color for this repertoire.

How to use it

Use individual selections from this folio for a jazz standards recital or a program celebrating American songwriting. These pieces work equally well as audition material, vocal competition selections, or repertoire for a cabaret-style performance.

Skills your students will build
